In Naples music is an integral part of everyday life, fills the streets, make people sing to the top of their lungs, it brings together thousands of people, moves money and makes people popular.

Even if she's been living abroad ad working around the Mediterranean since many years, each time Anna Raimondo - Brussels-based artist from the neapolitan region of Campania - comes back home, she is thrown back ears deep into this music; thus, this time, she decided to clinically observe it to better understand what does Neomelodic music actually means.
