Artists like Napoli Centrale, Lucio Battisti and Loredana Bertè were some of many Italian artists that built the soulful, psychedelic and irresistibly funky sounds of Italy. Moving from the raw honesty of Neapolitan jazz-funk and dreamy folk to psych rock, this show explores a musical world that feels both wonderfully familiar and completely unexpected with a sweeping romantic thread through it all.
