​Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but strongly advise you just hit play and make up your own mind.
There's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find these recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Lapa Dula - Agua (Early Sounds)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

As spring has sprung in the south of Europe the timing of the new LP from Lapa Dula for the ever reliable purveyors of vintage Neapolitan grooviness Early Sounds is impeccable. So  dust off the linen, treat yourself to a new pair of shades & hop on your Vespa no earlier than 2am to the nearest open air disco for some flirting & frolicing to some classic Balearic boogie & blue skied Mediterranean disco.

What The Release Notes Say

We're happy to introduce a new member of the Early Sounds family, guitarist and producer Lapa Dula with his debut album "Agua", an album of memories, in search of the sounds of Naples (and its surroundings) from the first half of the 80s, a time when the city was alive with cultural and social excitement, that creates an aesthetic and musical collage centered around nostalgia, for the places where the artist (Alessandro La Padula) spent his childhood, but also as a tribute to the myths and legends (old and new) of Partenope.

Some unique stories are told by this new talent emerging from the Pellegrino label, co-producer of Agua, pioneer in the enhancement of certain Mediterranean sounds among funk, Latin, world music, and disco.

From Sibilla, inspired by the myth of the Cumaean Sibyl, the Priestess of Apollo, but also a nostalgic memory of rural life, to the vernacular Scemanfu, a sort of crasis from the French "je m'en fous" (I don't care), as well as Navigante, with its ambiguous meaning, dedicated to those who have made the sea their home and those who have made their life in the virtual world. And finally, Baibai, sung in English, which takes inspiration from an expression born in the 1700s from the adventurous and licentious events of the English nobleman Sir Nathaniel Thorold, resident on the island of Capri.

Written and composed by Alessandro La Padula
Arranged and produced by Alessandro La Padula e Pellegrino S. Snichelotto
Executive Producer Pellegrino S. Snichelotto
Recorded at pAd studio (Rome) and The 8 Studios (Naples)
Mixed by Giovanni Roma at L’arte dei Rumori Studio
