BIO
This multi-facetted Napolitan musician navigates the world's musical traditions -- from his native Campanian to the Andes, from jazz to chamber music -- to create a unique tapestry of rhythms and harmonies.
Daniele Sepe studied flute at the Naples School of Music, and also plays tenor sax, soprano sax, a host of reed instruments, and a wide range of folk instrument.
His career begins with the group E'Zezi, of nearby Pomigliano, with whom he played at various international festivals. After numerous projects with artists such as Gino Paoli, Roberto de Simone and Roberto Murolo and a growing interest for jazz music, he began writing his own music and brought various people together to make up bands of different sizes, from a three man group to big bands of up to twenty musicians like the "Art Ensemble of Soccavo" and his "Tuba Furiosa."
1989 saw the release of his first record "Malamusica," followed shortly afterwards by "L'Uscita dei Gladiatori." At the same time he wrote music for theatre, ballet and most of all for cinema ("Blues metropolitano," "L'Amore Molesto," "Cronaca di un amore violato," etc.). He represented Italy in international festivals for example in Marseille, Nantes, Bruxelles (Womex). During the Gulf War, together with other 50 or so Neapolitan musicians, he produced a cassette of pacifist songs, which was distributed for free outside of factories and schools.
1994 saw the release of "Vite Perdite," which was applauded by public and critics alike, and made both the Italian and other international charts. The magazine Rockerilla voted it "Best Record of the Year" and Rockstar added it to their list of "100 Best Records of the 90's."
In 1995 "Spiritus Mundi" was released and was received as warmly as its predecessors; tracks from both CDs have been included in numerous best-selling anthologies by Polygram, Il Manifesto and La Repubblica. With Il Manifesto, Sepe also released "Trasmigrazioni," a CD recorded with various immigrant, musicians in Italy, and the album "Viaggi fuori dai paraggi."
