The beauty and the melody of the verses of neapolitan songs perfectly match the elegance and magnetism of french language, sometimes making the two basic elements indistinguishable. The main characteristics of the project are the internationality and the exchange between two different cultures. It\u2019s not only a musical product but a brand new cultural experience, that, from two different universes with their own identity, comes to a very charming result. It\u2019s a perfect marriage between the most harmonious melody and the sweetest of the language. The album tracks range from a breezy, jazzy mood to a more intimate one, passing through burlesque funny sensuality. Some atmospheres evoke exotic sceneries, some others bring us directly to the energy of music halls, some again appear as soundtracks of mystery, passion and love. The result is contemporarily resonant, and flutteringly alive. The Neapolitan spirit and poetry sits with the elegance of French language, producing an innovative outcome.<br>The protagonists of the projects are singer and actress Daniela Fiorentino and artistic producer Paolo Coletta, both strongly concerned with the idea of diffusion of the culture of their hometown, throughout the world, through with this album and its relative live concerts The verses of the neapolitan songs touch everybody\u2019s heart; they are verses of passion, hope, abandonment in which everyone of us identifies and the beautiful and rich french language can skilfully express them in the francophone world.<br>\u201cFrench Girl\u201d is not an elitist and exclusive product but it\u2019s meant for a wide audience of every age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>THE SONGS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Le petit p\u00eacheur (&#8216;O marenariello) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funiculaire funiculaire (Funicul\u00ec funicul\u00e0) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Le mois de mars (Catar\u00ec)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Le feu de vos yeux (Napulitanata) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Je t&#8217;attends \u00e0 Sorrento (Torna a Surriento) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ici la mer est claire (Marechiaro) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nous \u00e9tions en mai (Era de maggio) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serenade par d\u00e9pit (Serenata napulitana) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La chanteuse (&#8216;A Frangesa)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French Girl (instrumental)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INNOVATION OF THE ARTISTIC SUBJECT OF THE PROJECT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrench Girl\u201d is an original, unique, one-of-a-kind project. So far the rare remakes of neapolitan songs (for example \u201c\u201cIt\u2019s now or never\u201d\/\u2019O sole mio), not only have never concerned french language but also have never been realised as faithful adaptation to their sources. Practically only neapolitan people have enjoyed their musical and poetry tradition so far, while abroad, only the melody could be appreciated.<br>This musical experiment, then, encourages the appreciation of neapolitan culture by an international audience and exalts and promotes the best image of Napoli abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INTERCULTURAL AND INTERNATIONALITY ASPECTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrench Girl\u201d aims at transcending the regional and national boundaries of the music, to make the classical neapolitan song, with its powerful expressive potential, protagonist in the world, once more and in a very innovative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>THE CONCERT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Witty, simple, malicious, joyful, \u201cFrench girl\u201d materialises on stage to bring the audience into her world made of freedom, irony, joy, mystery and a bit of extravagance. With no shadow zones. Every songs becomes a story, an adventure. Our icon explores and sings Napoli and the world through her perceptions. So, for example, \u201cIci la mer est claire\u201d (Marechiaro), seems a noir scene with an exotic-dark taste, ironically expressed in a crime jazz key. \u201cFuniculaire funiculaire\u201d is represented as an amazing journey through the times, meeting famous historic characters, on board of the funicular. All the energy and life of the music hall is to be found in \u201cLa chanteuse\u201d, where our protagonist in a broadway rock-musical style, after defying every preconception, declares she wants to be free and realised and cannot help talking about Napoli in her music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrench Girl\u201d has already obtained the moral support of General Consulate of France and of the prestigious French Institute \u201cGrenoble\u201d in Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INFOS AND BIOS ABOUT THE INVOLVED ARTISTS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main protagonist of the concept album \u201cFrench Girl\u201d are singer and actress Daniela Fiorentino and composer and arranger Paolo Coletta. Both coming from Napoli, both internationally oriented<br>and artistically eclectic. Their paths have been crossing quite recently and from such a lucky partnership, successful shows and artistic realisations have taken place: \u201cInterno familiare &#8211; Il mare non bagna Napoli\u201d (also performed at the Shaw Theatre in London) and \u201cFiori giapponesi\u201d (produced by Mercadante &#8211; Teatro Stabile di Napoli) and \u201cToledostrasse\u201d (performed in prestigious theatres in Naples and Rome).<br>The realisation of the album \u201cFrench girl\u201d have featured also some of the best musicians of the neapolitan and italian scene. Lello De Luca and Gianni Ruggiero have been in charge of the recordings; famous sound engineer Marti Jane Robertson worked on the mixing and mastering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BIO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-daniela-fiorentino-french-girl wp-block-embed-daniela-fiorentino-french-girl\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Mx9mwFEmUh\"><a href=\"https:\/\/frenchgirlproject.wordpress.com\/bio\/\">Bio<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Bio&#8221; &#8212; Daniela Fiorentino FRENCH GIRL\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchgirlproject.wordpress.com\/bio\/embed\/#?secret=cpa7v9sJlZ#?secret=Mx9mwFEmUh\" data-secret=\"Mx9mwFEmUh\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">daniela fiorentino \\ bio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniela fiorentino \/ FRENCH GIRL THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC NEAPOLITAN SONGS ADAPTED IN FRENCH arranged, directed and produced by Paolo Coletta \u00ab French Girl \u00bb is a musical project based on the translation, the adaptation and the interpretation of the most famous neapolitan classic songs into french.
