Volare / Come Prima

Marino Marini left many unforgettable melodies to our musical heritage, thanks to his light, soft and timeless songs. He was the 'high priest' of a Neapolitan variety of Italian music that reigned in the Fifties and Sixties, with hints of jazz, rock 'n' roll, rumba and the twist. It's no surprise that Marini's songs spread worldwide. For this set, Jean-Baptiste Mersiol has chosen the best of this Italian singer's work, and included rare titles that have never been released before now. The result is an astonishing insight into the richest moments of what was once called "international pop."
