Qui dove il mare luccica. Tradition and translation in Neapolitan song, between Renato Carosone and Pino Daniele|Qui dove il mare luccica Tradizione e traduzione nella canzone napoletana, tra Renato Carosone e Pino Daniele

The essay deals with the comparison between two artists such as Renato Carosone and Pino Daniele, who had a very close relationship with the Neapolitan song tradition, starting from a position of criticism and detachment from stereotypical musical forms. The themes of their songs entertain a relationship with everyday life and the reality of Naples, described in its diversity and difficulties, with a reinterpretation made through popular music of Anglo-American origin. The use of Neapolitan dialect also makes it possible to discuss the relationship between local dialect forms and cultural grafts from media cultures. In the background remains the problematic, but at the same time creative, relationship between the tradition linked to the city of Naples and the questioning of oleographic forms.
