about

“ Cultural influences create an eclectic blend of sounds” – Gerald Gay, Arizona Star

“ Newpoli puts a fresh spin on Italian folk tunes!” – Bob Young, Boston Herald

“Newpoli was one of the best group of entertainers I have ever had the privilege of hearing perform” – Barbara Smith, Nogales International

“Beautiful recording” – Marc Nolis, MazzMusikas, Belgium

“One of the most unusual bands in town!” – Boston Phoenix

“Neapolitan folk roots played with gusto...” – Sadie O., Stanford University Music Review

“...Here’s a great way to transport yourself to without worrying about the exchange rate – or a plane ticket.” – June Wulff, Boston Globe

Newpoli is a group of exceptionally talented singers and musicians, all alumni from Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, that performs Southern Italian Folk Music, mainly from the regions of Campania and Puglia, integrating a wide variety of styles such as Tarantella-Pizzica, Tammuriata, Villanella and the Neapolitan Canzone, encompassing music from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Because Italian Folk music, with the exception of a small number of Neapolitan songs, has not received its deserved attention and recognition, either in Italy or abroad, Newpoli, guided by their passion for playing and researching these seldom played traditional styles, introduces to the audience, often for the first time, the joy and beauty of this music while recounting the ancient stories and rituals described in the lyrics.
