Per la rassegna “acieloaperto”

Nu Genea is the artistic project from musicians/djs Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina. Nu Genea collected the sonic echoes
that, down the centuries, have touched the shores of Napoli, their hometown.
Their meticolous research stands out for exploring uncharted territories, scouring the music
from the past and elaborating it in an original groovy equation fully pervaded by disco,
funk, boogie, electronic, dub, folk and many more.
After the success of the album "The Tony Allen Experiments" (2015), a collaboration with Tony
Allen - original drummer of Fela Kuti - in 2018 they’ve released "Nuova Napoli" LP on their
own label NG Records, as tribute to their hometown: the synthesizers fill the spaces between
the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and
voices in Neapolitan language.
This album, much appreciated by the specialized critics, hits the market as one of best-seller
vinyls in 2019 according to Discogs platform: #2 in Global market, #1 in Italy, #2 in France.
Nuova Napoli live band toured over prestigious clubs and festivals - from Dekmantel in
Amsterdam to Strawberry Fields in Australia, from Queremos! in Brazil to ClubToClub in Turin,
from New Morning in Paris to Strelka in Moscow.
Their shows have thrilled the audience both by the great energy as full band on stage and
by the sophisticated musical selection giving authentique and unusual Dj-sets.
Nu Genea also curates, along with DNApoli and Famiglia Discocristiana, a vinyl digging
outcome called Napoli Segreta: a compilation series focused on rescuing and re-releasing
obscure and forgotten music made in Napoli from the 70s and the 80s.
