I first experienced this group while channel surfing on cable. They were performing on a live concert on the Italian TV channel RA1. I've been a fan ever since.

Their first album "Le Regazze" blends pop, rap, reggae and 40's style vocal jazz, primarily cover songs. This CD is a bit uneven but there are some gems so it is worth a listen.

The group followed with "Strumenti" which is, as the title suggests, with instruments. This CD is primarily original material and finds the group developing a much more definative sound. They touch on African, pop and jazz rhythms with beautiful harmonies and a minimum intrusion of instruments.

Their latest self-titled release is acapella and once again mostly original material, but they still haven't gotten reggae out of their system as evidenced by their dead-on rendition of Bob Marley's "Jammin'." The infectious "Quello Che Vuoi" has hit written all over it. The CD includes a multimedia component...which is the video to "Quello Che Vuoi" as well as some behind the scenes looks at the singers...unfortunately all in Italian. But who cares. The music is great and if you need a translation go buy and Italian-English dictionary! I just ordered the Christmas CD and I'm looking forward to receiving it soon.

The group has a website, neripercaso.com, which is also in italian. Unfortunately, no tour schedule is available on the website or anywhere else that I can find.

Neri per Caso created a CD just as strong and delightful as their past ones. The first two tracks are excellent, and all the others are great as well. My only problem was the CD's length, around 40 minutes total. But regardless it is well worth the money! While the songs themselves will end, you will find yourselves humming the tunes, even trying to sing along in Italian! Catchy, uplifting, beautiful, this CD is a must buy for those who just love a cappella.

NERI PER CASO...BRAVO ITALIA!!! I'M FROM PUERTO RICO AND LOVE ITALIAN MUSIC. "NERI PER CASO" ACTUALLY THOUGHT ME HOW TO SING IN ITALIAN. I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN SING ALONG WITH THE GROUP. THE SONGS ARE GREAT AND I DANCE/SING TO THIS CD AT HOME, WORK AND WHILE WORKING-OUT. A MUST HAVE... I WISH I COULD FIND ANY TYPE OF "MUSIC VIDEOS" FROM THIS GROUP AND WATCH THEM PERFORM. I LOVE THE SONG "COSA C'E TRA NOI". BEST OF LUCK....

I first heard this group when a sound technician was using it to balance his setup. I was already an a cappella fan, and had heard many other groups. But I must admit that this is the best group I have ever heard. If you like a cappella or are interested in it, but this CD now. Also check out thier CD Le Ragazzi.

Any a-capella group that can belt out their own songs in Italian and then deliver just as well with Bob Marley's "Jamming" is definitely worth listening to. Neri per Caso have the skills of Bobby McFerrin and the harmonizing abilities of any well known a-capella group. Their songs are sweet, endearing and well presented. This is a must have for any collection due to its uniqueness and its unusually calming qualities.

This new Neri Per Caso CD has 12 selections, sung in Italian. The songs were all new to me. On this CD they happily returned to the a cappella technique that they had used so beautifully on their original release and which they had regretfully abandoned on their second CD. If you like like melodious close harmony, reminiscent of The Ink Spots, you'll love this one.

This CD is GREAT!! I am in an a capella group at college, and we sing "Donne" from Neri Per Caso's last CD. I bought this CD, and was NOT disappointed. I played this CD for 2 days and all my roommates were humming the tunes all day long!!! A great buy!

This CD is just great, the songs are all FANTASTIC. My favorite one is Cosa C'e Tra Noi. I wish I could add some more stars.

I couldn't agree more with the rest of the reviewers of this GORGEOUS piece of work by Neri Per Caso! It's a superbly crafted album and their vocal precision, impeccable tuning and soulful melodies will capture your heart right from the get go through till the very end. The emotions that exude from their voices for songs such as "Io Ci Saro" and "In Un Bar" are so effective that it had me listening to them repeatedly until I had to force myself to stop so my neighbors didn't think I was insane (but a cappella as good as this, DOES make me one nut! :) Way to go, NPC - THANKS SO MUCH for YET ANOTHER WINNER (I think "Stumenti", "Angelo Blu" and "Le Regazze" were all fantastic too). If anyone knows where I can purchase their Chistmas disc ("...and so it is Christmas") and "La Raccolta" albums, I'd be forever grateful if you could email me :) Basically, I don't think NPC can go wrong with any of their albums, since these guys have what it takes. Ciro and Deigo definitely KNOW how to captivate an audience with their arrangements and the group in general, have the voices and moves to bring that aspect to life in all it's splendor! Please keep 'em coming guys and may you achieve far greater success in the years ahead. God Bless! And to those of you reading this, I urge you to purchase this one (and their others as well) without hesitation (if you care more for the technical/musical brilliance of an a cappella group and not the fact that you might not understand the lyrics - yes I don't understand a word of Italian, but I have spent [a good sum of money] to get 4 of their albums so far - trust me, they are THAT Good!!).

A friend heard this group while travelling in Italy and recommended I buy the CD.

They have incredible talent and every song on the CD is excellent. The music is so good it is hard to believe there are no instruments involved in the recording.

They can really groove. Your body will move just listening. Buy it today.
