Enzo Avitabile's album Black Tarantella is a mesmerizing work of art that blends traditional Neapolitan music with modern rock and jazz influences. The album features a diverse range of instruments, including accordion, saxophone, and electric guitar, all of which are expertly played by Avitabile and his band.
The album's title track, "Black Tarantella," is a hauntingly beautiful composition that showcases Avitabile's mastery of the accordion. The song builds slowly, with layers of percussion and guitar adding depth and texture to the melody. The result is a hypnotic, almost trance-like piece of music that transports the listener to another world.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Sponda Sud," a lively and energetic tune that features some impressive saxophone solos, and "Spiranza," a slow and contemplative ballad that showcases Avitabile's soulful vocals.
