Wow, i know that guy. He often plays in the Valley Fair Mall in San Jose.

The next day I went back and payed him anyway.

Don t taunt me too much!

[plattform5163]

Very Nice!!!!!!!Thanks for sharing!

[nomiser]

That was beautiful for something recorded on someone's camcorder

[xilpix]

Chitarra and mandolino is the tipical italian musical duo.

[stoni90]

chitarra....hmmm can you name the first who invented the quitar?

was it pythagoras the napolitan???

[xilpix]

My friend, Italy and Greece lived togheter for many centuries (do you remember the imperial age?) but this music born in the 1500-600 with another kind of instruments. The ancient kitara has just a little of a modern Chitarra. Napolitanean song are almost all of 1800-1900. You can find common origin in all mediterranean country, but napolitanean songs are napolitanean songs. It is likes compare a mandolino and a buzuki, they can have a look like, but are different also.

[stoni90]

i know my friend,anyway its a long debate...i would send you a documentary about grecia salentina when i find time. it talks all about south italy music and dances,(like pizzica,tarantella)derived directly from ancient greek feasts like Dionysus Feast etc.

google greciasalentina. Too bad its half greek, half italian the documentary.

[Cirifischio88]

Well, I think to know Grecìa salentina enough well (Zollino, Martano, Melpignano etc.) and I can say that music of this zone is not different than the music of the others town. This kind of music, tarantella, saltarello etc is played in all centre-south italy.

[katherinexruby]

[NZ19929484]

No. Greek music sounds like this.

Not the other way round.

[xilpix]

it is "Torna a Surriento" lol I think the town of Sorrento isn't in Greece.

[stoni90]

sounds like south italy...oh wait south italy was called magna Grecia, colonized from greeks...maybe there is a connection...

[xilpix]

I think you did not study music.

[stoni90]

maybe not, maybe someone gave me the diploma on classical piano as a gift.

[EasternPack]

Italien är det finaste landet på jorden! Jag älskar Italien!

[Aldoar]

Does someone nows:whats the name of this beautiful instrument,its just mandolino?And if possible the name of the best italian players.

[wwwcumpra]

si, mandolino is right. just MANDOLINO. the title is TORNA A SURRIENTO which is "back to surriento". Surriento is close to naples

[Aldoar]

Thanks,and by the way,do you now italian mandolino player,I like to find same cd´s but I don´t now names...

[vincenz55]

hard top find modern authentic mandolino music from italy these days..italians have lost their heritage and have adopted modern american music crap as their own..its sad.

if you find some old lps from italian players youd be lucky and better off than trying to find modern stuff

[BizzarreProductions]

American music "crap"? Excuse me, but the "crap" you hear nowadays is a mixture of all cultures' musical instruments and ideals. To me, it's exciting that the whole world can make music together. But nobody else seems to understand.

[ConservativeValues]

molto bella!

[VATOSLOCOS15]

BELLA

[Malmedymandolines]

nice tremolo

[buihangvn]

It's really one of the most wonderful "Torna a Surriento" I've ever heard ! Thank you.

[mandoline34]

magnifico, stupendo, un vero sogno, il signore suona come il mio nonno quando veveva ancora.

Un maestro, un gigante del mandolino, grazie per questo momento di ricordo del'italia.

[Alienanastasia]

A bit of history about the song..

In 1902, the Prime Minister, Zanardelli made an official visit to Sorrento where conditions were terrible. To encourage him to do something, this song was dedicated to him, urging him to "Return to Sorrento" to see the all beauty, hopefully after repairs had been made

[seventhstreet]

Alienanastasia thanks for explaining the lyrics and also the history about the song. You seem very knowledable about the song. I took this video quite by chance at the Italian festival in San Francisco. I now appreciate the song and video even more after your comments.

[Alienanastasia]

Its called Torna a Surriento - a very famous Neopolitan song..

Vide 'o mare quant''e bello!

Spira tantu sentimento,

Comme tu a chi tiene mente,

ca scetato 'o faie sunna'.

[seventhstreet]

Hi Alienanastasia, thanks for the information about the origins of the song. Would you mind translating for us what you have written into English so I can better appreciate the song? Thanks.

[Alienanastasia]

You see the sea, how beautiful it is!

It inspires lots of deep feeling

Like you, those who you look at it

When you awake you will dream of it

Thats a rough idea but it loses so much in the translation from Neopolitan.  Mario Lanza sings a version on Youtube if you wany to listen to the all words
