Ai O Shiki Yoru

[Machine Translation] Joe Barbieri, a Neapolitan SSW, released a beautiful orchestral album "Loving Memories" in 2021, which is autobiographical in content and highly praised as his best work. The album is based on a moving concert held in Italy to commemorate 30 years of his professional career. The album includes her recent work "Aishiki Memoria", the albums "Maison Marevilha (Dreamy House, With You)" and "In Parole Povere (With an Honest Heart)", which have quickly gained recognition in Japan, and "Respiro (Quietly)", in which Jorge Drexler and others participated, and which has been acclaimed as a masterpiece, along with the memory of her first tour of Japan. The best selections include "Respiro (Quietly, Like Breathing)," which features Jorge Drexler and others and has been acclaimed as a masterpiece, and "Astronauts in an Apartment," which fully exploits the Mediterranean sound. Two new songs and a cover song by Roberto Carlos, who is very popular around the world, especially in Brazil and Latin Europe, are also included as bonus tracks. Only the Japanese CD is personally selected by Joe Barbieri.
