"Crai, crai, crai"
Music at the spanish court of Naples
An exciting confrontation of three musical worlds: Neapolitan poets such as Giulio Cesare Cortese, who sometimes performed their Tarantelle, Villanelle,
Frottole and Tammurriate even in down-town taverns, the spanish Villancicos by a.o. Diego Ortiz and finally the elaborate works of Netherlandish Maestros such as Giovanni de
Macque at the royal court.
A musical journey into the Spanish Kingdom of Naples, an ethnic melting pot wich has always been a crossing point between "Moorish" and European culture.
"with Ensemble Oni Wytars this mix of catchy melodies and elaborate instrumentals becomes an amusing journey." (MDR Figaro)
