Lorenzo Buhne's new album

Lorenzo Buhne's new CD "Buon Giorno" is now available online at Marbecks.co.nz and cdbaby.com. Lorenzo's lastest CD updates the Neapolitan and Italian traditional music and blends it with Brazilian, Arabic, and Rock influences. 





Here are Lorenzo's commments about the songs:

Tu Si Na Cosa Grande
The title humorously and literally translated is “You are a large thing.”
Of course it’s his love for her that’s large. A beautiful song by Domenico Modugno and a huge hit from 1964.

Nebbia
My father does not play an instrument but this doesn’t stop him from writing songs.
When it was time for me to go to bed, or if I needed comfort, he would cradle me in his arms and sing “Nebbia” until I’d fall asleep. This song is within me and I’m happy to have finally recorded it.

Buon Giorno
When Nico was born I greeted him by saying Buon Giorno! This song has a traditional Neapolitan feel, and is recorded largely with toy instruments. Buon Giorno means “Good Morning!” and is about singing, playing and dancing and to make some noise, to celebrate life and death whenever possible. This song is dedicated to both Cav. Remiro Bresolin and my son Nico.

Mina
…is a girl who is hot and dangerous, a bandit and a lover. A femme fatale.

San Valentino
When I visit my father we hug and he says “here” and hands me his latest poem.
While I was reading it for the first time, I stopped, grabbed his guitar and began singing. This track was recorded the following day.

Egli & Il Fantasma
When I visit with my brother Paolo he also says “here” and hands me his latest poems. Egli and Il Fantasma are similar in their view that “the world is at the doorstep of doom,” though Egli is humorous, and Il Fantasma is bleak and cold.

Federico’s Caper
Federico is a bit of a prankster. Fun to be with, spiritually satisfying and always up to something. Dedicated to FDL.

Tu
Tu is the song I identify with most. The lyrics are of a traveler who searches the world over, finally finding the one to love.
