Nu Genea

Nu Genea

Nu Genea is the artistic project from musicians/DJs Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina. They collected the sonic echoes that, down the centuries, have touched the shores of Napoli, their hometown.

Their meticolous research stands out for exploring uncharted territories, scouring the music from the past and elaborating it in an original groovy equation fully pervaded by disco, funk, boogie, electronic, dub, folk and many more. After the success of the album “The Tony Allen Experiments” (2015), a collaboration with Tony Allen – original drummer of Fela Kuti – in 2018 they’ve released “Nuova Napoli” LP on their own label NG Records, as tribute to their hometown: the synthesizers fill the spaces between the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and voices in Neapolitan language.

Their shows have thrilled the audience both by the great energy as full band on stage and by the sophisticated musical selection giving authentic and unusual DJ-sets.
