John Turturro’s Passione — The Playlist on iTunes
If you buy one CD from iTunes this summer, make it the soundtrack from John Turturro’s cinematic love song to Naples, Passione. It’s a beautiful medley of traditional Neapolitan music, Arabic influences, reggae rhythms and a few songs you may even be able to sing along with. Most importantly, go watch the film if you are in NYC, at Film Forum starting June 22nd. Summer will never be the same again…

Most who know me also know that I typically don’t call myself an expert, at anything, because that leads down the perfect road to be proven wrong. But when it comes to Napoli, the magical character of its people and its infectious music, I am perfectly suited to appoint myself an authority. I grew up among the Neapolitan musical elite, hanging out by their feet and watching them perform night, after night, after night with my parents — who were fans and friends.
I also am truly my mother’s daughter, a “Napoletana Verace”, which roughly translates to “authentic Neapolitan”. But, as with anything else that comes from Naples, there is no real translation for it, only interpretation. So, while the other critics are simply showing their ignorance through their pieces and reviews of Passione — it’s been painful to watch even the mightiest among them fall — my own tribute to the film on the Huffington Post remains THE only one to read. The VERACE, true version…
