Fun and Jam Session in Napoli
When we were in Napoli after my concert we did a jam session playing mostly Italian songs with my great freind Luigi Caramielo (singing) and Gennaro Romano (guitarist of the band Letti Sfatti). Luigi is a writer, sociologist and journalist. We had so much fun playing together. In the meantime the women cooked and took spaghetti as well as wine on the table. Then we had a nice dinner together.

Concert in Napoli
I had a concert in Napoli on last Sunday.
It was spontaneously organised by a friend of mine Luigi Caramiello who is a writer and sociologist living in Napoli. The concert was in the concert room of Hotel Costantinopoli 104. Very nice and romantic place for a concert. It was great. I played different pieces including Portuguese (Carlos Seixas, Carlos Paredes) and Hungarian music by Bela Bartok.
On the video I play Carlos Seixas Sonata
