00:00It's definitely a great satisfaction, in the end it's more of a job done well, because I simply carried on what the pillars had already done in Naples.
00:13The Neapolitan language has always been present in Europe, in Italy, in the world. I just carried on a culture that already existed.
00:20I imagined, not this, I imagined living off music because it was the only thing I knew how to do, but not all of this.
00:30But certainly that was a nice satisfaction for me because I picked up the love they gave me, I picked up the fruits.
00:39In the end I saw the people who celebrated with me, they weren't just at a concert. It was one of my greatest satisfactions.
00:46But there are always disappointments, there are this year, there will be next year, there were last year.
00:54It's part of the journey, with the good things you can then medicate the negative things that have happened to you.
01:01Act 2 was the closure of the album. I wanted to put everything that was missing on the album and then close this circle.
01:10It's easy to do a repack because you already know what's missing, you already know what you didn't put on the album and you can do it with a repack.
