More about the Composer: Daniele was born to a working-class family of southern Italian, ancestry, where his elders originated in Naples, Italy. His father was employed as a port worker. A self-taught guitarist, he began his career as a musician playing for other successful singers of the 1970s. His striking debut in the Italian music world was in 1977 with the album Terra mia, which proved to be a successful mix of Neapolitan tradition and sounds. Daniele defined his music with the term “taramblu”, which indicated a mix of tarantella, blues and rumba. His lyrics also attracted critical praise: written and sung in an intense command of the Neapolitan language, they contained strong and bitter accusations against the social injustices of Naples, as well as Italian society in general, and included melancholic personal themes. Several of the later songs are characterized by a free intermingling of English, Italian and Neapolitan passages. Daniele’s talent was confirmed on the following album Pino Daniele (1979). He scored his greatest success in 1980, with Nero a metà (“Half-Black Skinned”), which was noted by some authorities as the hallmark of the rebirth of Neapolitan song.[citation needed] In that year
