Counterpoint

This evening we are going to set a counterpoint to Robbie. Assurd is visiting Lucerne for the more accessible street part of the rather posh Lucerne Festival.



We discovered Assurd earlier this year at a Wine & Dine & Music. So far it was the most flabbergasting musical experience of the year. These women sing traditional Neapolitan songs with a verve and vengeance, I've never heard before in any field of music. Only a few decades ago, women like those of Assurd would have been burned at the stake.

This is the way how tradition is being transmited in Neapol, with extraordinary voices, which tell it all, and I mean it...oh yes, they realy tell it all.
