It is impossible not to mention the Neapolitan musicians who contributed to the greatness of Nero A Metà: James Senese (sax), Agostino Marangolo (drums), Rosario Jermano (percussion), Gigi De Rienzo (bass), Ernesto Vitolo (keyboards) together with other guests like Enzo Avitabile, Aldo Mercurio, Mauro Spina and Karl Potter.
And finally Pino's own words explaining the title of the album as reported on his official website www.pinodaniele.com:
The title Nero A Metà, linked to a musical concept, was also inspired by a beautiful book that came out in the 70s, Nero Di Puglia which is the story of a black man born in the south, a bit like the story of my friend James Senese, it goes without saying that for me the most beautiful piece is Quanno Chiove, one of my first love songs… the air is so hot! There was a great desire to change things and music helped us a lot.”
