Background notes
Archive material and source history
Canzoni Napoletane formed in the early 1950s when street performers and musicians from Naples' Forcella district began playing together. They focused on traditional Neapolitan music, with songs like "A Citta 'E Pulecinella" and "Tu Vuo' Fa' L'americano" becoming part of their repertoire.
Their music sometimes drew criticism from those who felt it strayed too far from authentic Neapolitan traditions, and some lyrics were considered risqué for the time. Despite this, their songs became familiar pieces in Naples' musical landscape.
The group included Salvatore "Toto" Cutugno on vocals, Antonio Rocco on accordion, and Guido and Maurizio De Angelis on keyboards and guitar. Their recordings helped preserve certain aspects of Naples' musical heritage through straightforward performances of songs like "'A Canzuncella" and "'A Tazza 'E Cafe'."
