Maradona, pizza and Mount Vesuvius are the first things that pop into this writer’s mind when they think of Napoli — the city at the southern tip of Italy. While Maradona might never visit Mumbai again, a taste of the city’s culture and music will be part of the restaurant CinCin’s first Alfresco Tunes weekend this Sunday. In association with Jodhpur RIFF, the six-member band of Ars Nova Napoli led by Marcello Squillante and featuring Bruno Belardi, Michelangelo Nusco, Antonino Anastasia, Vincenzo Racioppi and Gianluca Fusco will take stage to perform music that dives into the folk roots of Campania.
“We started playing in the streets of Napoli many years ago. We have been playing together for over 14 years now, and basically grew up as musicians and friends,” says accordionist and singer Marcello Squillante. The name of the band translates to new art. Since their founding, they have travelled the world introducing the unique art of street music from Napoli.
