- - Newpoli integrates a wide variety of styles such as Tarantella-Pizzica, Tammuriata, Villanella and the Neapolitan Canzone, encompassing music from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Because Italian folk music, with the exception of a small number of Neapolitan songs, has not received much global attention or recognition, Newpoli concerts are often the first exposure audience members have to these traditions--even among Italians. Newpoli members are careful to highlight the joy and beauty of the music while explaining the rituals behind the dances and the ancient stories described in the lyrics. Most of the members are graduates of the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory, and are proficient on a wide range of folk and early instruments including bagpipes, flutes, drums, accordions, viols, and lutes. Newpoli is Carmen Marsico and Angela Rossi (vocals), Fabio Pirozzolo (tamburello & vocals), Björn Wennås (chitarra, battente, mandola & chitarra, classica), Jussi Reijonen (oud, mandola & chitarra classica), Daniel Meyers (zampogna, ciaramella & recorders), Karen Burciaga (violin) and Jeff McAuliffe (bass).
