Daniele Sepe, from Naples, has been for over two decades one of the leading artists whose work mix styles and sounds; from own compositions to Jazz, folk, in a continuous contamination where the vivacity and strength of the sounds is accompanied by a heartfelt social criticism that does not disdain irony. More than twenty-five albums by this extraordinary artist who makes each work a chapter in itself, both for the genres it crosses and for the feelings it expresses: some “uncomfortable”, another an orchestral suites, or a mix of medieval, Jazz, rap, funk, blues, traditional music.
As for his brilliant partner Stefano Bollani in the “Napoli Trip” project, Daniele Sepe’s style is elusive in spirit and substance and impossible to label.
