The italian(politically and'folkly')correnspondent of Martin Carthy's crowd is Nouva Compagnia di Canto Popolare,an AMAZING band blaying medieval napolitan music.Last summer,as a technician,I had to help puttig up a performance in an old gothic abbey.It featured the Nuova Compagnia singing together with other ethnic players.(Very beautiful show....unforgettable setting).One of my mates was from Naples.Being twenty six,she was born and brought up listening to Nuova Compagnia's music.during their reharsing,she kept on hiding behind columns listening to them,with tears in her eyes .The last day,it was raining and we were all packed in a dining room.I don't know how it happened,but the singer of the Nuova Compagnia started singing my friend's favourite lullaby and her,from the other side of the table,couldn't help joining her with her beautiful deep voice.It was an unforgettable feeling.
