The Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare, often abbreviated as NCCP, is an emblematic Italian folk group whose musical journey began in the vibrant cultural landscape of the late 1960s. Formed in 1967, the group originated with the intent to explore and rejuvenate the rich tapestry of traditional Neapolitan music. From their inception, NCCP has dedicated themselves to rigorous musical research, uncovering and revitalizing ancient songs and melodies deeply rooted in the regional heritage of Campania. Their work extends to a plethora of folk genres, with a notable emphasis on showcasing the diversity of Italian musical traditions.

Throughout their illustrious career, NCCP has produced a significant body of work that reflects their commitment to cultural preservation and innovation. Their discography resonates with the sounds of folk tales and the lives of the common people, narrated through a distinctive blend of vocals and folk instruments. Among their recent releases, "Napoli 1534 (Tra moresche e villanelle)" stands out as a creative exploration of historic Neapolitan forms, while "50 anni in buona compagnia" celebrates the enduring appeal and vitality of their half-century-long presence in the Italian music scene. Constantly evolving, NCCP's live performances, such as the "Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare (Live in Munich)," highlight their dynamic stage presence and connection with audiences. Whether through the reflective mood of "La Voce Del Grano" or the electric energy of "Tzigari," NCCP continues to embody the spirit of Italian folk, bridging the past and present with harmonious storytelling.
