For nearly 3,000 years, the city of Naples, Italy has been a bustling urban cultural center, a natural crucible for the arts and sounds of the western world. Ars Nova Napoli, a sextet of buskers playing strings, percussion, and accordion, distills Napoli's rich historical tradition into uniquely exciting modern performance.
Since its inception, the sextet headed by singer Marcello Squillante has committed itself to exploring the most diverse genres of southern Italy – from the pizzica of Apulia via the serenades of Sicily to the Calabrian tarantella. They readily listen to the traditional singing of the local people and how they handle their instruments at first hand.
