FLO Cangiano

Floriana Cangiano – aka FLO - is a Neapolitan singer-songwriter, lyrical singing graduate, theatre actor and unpredictable entertainer. She is reckoned to be one of the major voices of Southern Italian music scene. Her singing embodies the ecstasy, melancholy and theatricality typical of Southern Italy.
Her songs are a blending between the ancient sounds of Southern Italy and the contemporary Neapolitan melting pot.
Her 2014 debut album was awarded with some of the most important prizes in Italy and was followed by intensive tours around Italy and first appearances at European clubs and festivals. read what Ian Anderson experienced: http://frootsmag.com/la-mentirosa-flo

Her actual program "Canzoni di sale" is an enchanting combination of music, songs and stories. FLO takes her audience on a journey to the south bathed by the sea - mysterious and fascinating. Her own songs, but also classics of the Neapolitan tradition, tell true stories of courage, love, irony and fate.
From the story of the ocean liner Lusitania - the largest and fastest ship in the world - which sank on its first crossing at the beginning of the last century, taking war secrets and love stories with it, to the story of Ilde Terracciano from Campania, the youngest child bride in Europe. And the story of another Neapolitan woman, the famous and forgotten Giulia Civita Franceschi, mother of all the orphans in Naples.
FLO moves along these musical stories - between singer-songwriter songs and Neapolitan classics, seducing her audience with her expressive voice, engaging stage presence and Neapolitan temperament.
