"Eclectic new voice from Southern ItalyFloriana Cangiano alias FLO comes from Naples and represents the new generation of Southern-Italian singer-songwriting. Her first album "D'amore e di altre cose irreversibili" (2014) was awarded several prizes in Italy, gained international attraction and enthusiastic press reviews. FLO mixes Italian rootsy-pop, chanson and traditonal singing to songs with a Mediterranean flavour, most focused on a rhythmical and pulsating everyday life from southern part of Italy. With expressive voice, strong personality and powerful Neapolitan energy she tells stories from the Southern contradictory between catholic moralism and 21st century every day life. Violent, tender, bitter, sweet, full of ambiguities ... Her concerts are a rhythmic and addictive mix: FLO gives her songs a huge amount of colour with powerful, dramatic Italian vocals, while her three-piece band provide a backdrop of Gypsy-ish swing, rock, jazz and arabic rhythms. FLO´s modern "Canzone Napolitana" is embossed by the magnetic narrative of the feminine, sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, but always mysterious and full of haunting passion".

"I try hard to think of an Anglo equivalent to [Flo's] big, heartfelt, straight-as-an-arrow but ultra expressive voice; theatrically constructed songs with constant twists and turns and references to traditions; and [Daniele] Sepe's imaginative, multi-instrumentally textured arrangements - and the nearest I can come up with would be Eliza Carthy and her Wayward Band. If they were Italian. Influences cascade from everywhere. Afro-Brazilian percussion, circus sounds, North African oud, Greek hasapiko, a Milton Nascimento cover, a tribute to Mexico's iconic Chavela Vargas (...), brass band taranta (the title track), a Neapolitan love song, a spiky and angular guitar-driven rocker staright out of the Amparo Sanchez mould, and just to throw you off your plinth, a couple of pure Eurovision ballads (that's if Eurovision had quality and taste in its arrangements), one with Sepe's captivating soprano sax and another with gorgeous harp. But throughout, that voice and such huge imagination. I am in awe!".
