Some time ago I have discovered the videos by the Duo Maple, <\/strong>a duo with mandolin and guitar from Japan. The duo occasionally adds other players with instruments like the Japanese instruments shamisen<\/strong> and shakuhachi<\/strong>, a second guitar, an accordeon or even a bagpipe to its program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yoko Eto<\/strong> (mandolin) and Shinji Nordtor<\/strong> (guitar, mandola) have founded the duo in 2006 if I understand the information from the Japanese website correctly.<\/p>\n

Now some selected videos with the Duo Maple!<\/p>\n

Core’ngrato von Salvatore Cardillo<\/strong> (1874\u20131947)<\/h4>\n

Wikipedia about the song Core ‘ngrato<\/strong> and the composer of this song\u00a0 Salvatore Cardillo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Salvatore Cardillo<\/strong> (1874\u20131947) was the Italian songwriter whose richly scored sentimental Napuletano<\/em> classic “Core ‘ngrato”<\/strong> (“Ungrateful heart”) written in 1911 for Enrico Caruso, has remained a staple of the Italian tenor concert repertoire, having been recorded by Corelli, Domingo, and Pavarotti.<\/p>\n

“Core ‘ngrato” is the only famous Neapolitan song to be written in the United States by an Italian immigrant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
