Nu Genea

About

Nu Genea isn’t just playing music; they’re excavating and reimagining Naples’ vibrant musical past. The Italian duo, Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina, craft a sound that's both reverent and revolutionary, a vibrant tapestry woven from funk, disco, boogie, and jazz, all deeply rooted in the sounds of 1970s Neapolitan music. They’re not revivalists, though; they’re alchemists, transforming forgotten grooves into potent dancefloor anthems. Their breakthrough came with tracks like "Je Vulesse" and their globally celebrated album, "Nuova Napoli," which catapulted them onto international stages. Nu Genea's work isn't simply about nostalgia; it’s a profound exploration of cultural identity and a celebration of musical heritage. They effortlessly blend vintage synthesizers and live instrumentation, creating a sonic landscape that feels simultaneously familiar and utterly fresh. Notable collaborations include work with musicians who share their vision for a globalized, yet deeply rooted, sound. Their commitment to honoring their roots while pushing creative boundaries has cemented their place as leading figures in the global electronic music scene. Currently, Nu Genea continues to tour internationally, bringing their infectious energy and unique sound to audiences worldwide and hinting at future projects that promise to further redefine the boundaries of contemporary Italian music.
