Midweek music energy: Una Notte a Napoli

{Original YouTube clip here}
A romantic, fun love song - of angels, Naples and amore - by Pink Martini (saw them last week). The song seems so glam 70s Italian.
Probably because Pink Martini wrote it with Alba Clemente (above), a totally glamorous 70s Italian actress!

Fun fact: Pink Martini has played a multi-lingual repertoire from Carnegie Hall to Cannes - they sang in English, French, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish & Turkish just in the concert I saw!
{We should all sashay down city streets dressed like this.}

This is such a great song - reminds me of one of those snazzy jazz bars almost where everyone is wearing beaded flapper dresses.. mmmm

Is it me or does Pink Martini look like Anne Hathaway (or vice versa)?

Okay you got me here because at first I thought you were referring to pinkmartini.it the homefurnishings website. I couldn't be more totally off the mark. But just to let you know of another martini in the news -- there is D&G's Martini Gold, which if that isn't enough of a clue, makes for some fancy shmancy toasting that I'll just have to try one of these days.

I'm dancing in my chair! That must have been a crazy fun concert. The singer appears almost as glam' as Clemente. Is it just the one woman singing in all the languages in the concerts? Astonishing.
