The album ‘O vicolo ‘e l’allerìa (Il vicolo e l’allegria), published by La Maschera in 2014, returns imaginatively to its own experience in Naples and throughout southern Italy: the mixture of ingredients, foods, smells, colors … in the streets and alleyways of every city and village. The food is found on the streets of Naples and so eating outdoors becomes the triumph of light and natural colors. The food then becomes a decorative, theatrical element, it becomes another appearance of beauty. La Maschera is a young group of Neapolitan musicians founded in 2013 by Roberto Colella and Vincenzo Capasso. In 2014, they released the first album “O’vicolo’ e l’alleria“, which marks the success and fame of their music. Melodies and rhythms of various origins make
La Maschera’s music unique in its genre, thanks to the combination of 60s and 70s rock with motifs from the popular musical tradition of southern Italy and Africa. In 2017 is released the second album, entitled ParcoSofia, a real blaze of sounds of all kinds. Roberto Colella (vocals, guitar, saxophone and keyboards), Vincenzo Capasso (trumpet), Alessandro Morlando (guitar), Antonio “Gomez” Caddeo (bass and double bass) and Marco Salvatore (drums) collaborate creatively from the summer of 2015 with the Senegalese musician Laye Ba, a partnership culminated in the singles Te vengo a cercà (Ti vengo a cercare) e Salaam Aleikum (La pace regni su di voi).
