"From 1979, this is Pino's 2nd solo album, and what a beauty it is. 12 tracks that have a great Mediteranean and at the same time Worldly feel when you listen to them. His 1st album mostly being influenced by Pino's Napolitan heritage, his 2nd starts to show his interest in other musical cultures (latin, jazz, blues).You can still hear that his roots were planted in Naples, but with this album he starts to stretch his musical style. 'Chillo e nu buono guaglione' has a nice Latin feel to it, 'ue man!' is a very cool an bluesy track.On this album Pino starts to develop his unique style of world music that is so charactaristic for the rest of his career. That is what makes this album a key album in his repertoire, and therefore a 'must have'!"
