"QUATTRO" is the new CD by Baraonna (Velut Luna 2020). 10 tracks, including seven completely unreleased songs, composed and arranged by Baraonna; a new version of the super-awarded Sanremo song, "I giardini d'Alhambra" and two covers, "Minuetto" and "Il terzo fuochista" brought to success respectively by Mia Martini and Tosca. The arrangements are polyphonic and contrapuntal vocally, in Baraonna style (Delio Caporale, Vito Caporale, Daphne Nisi and Eleonora Tosto). The instrumental part features: Pippo Matino, a Neapolitan champion, on electric bass; the jazzy creativity of Alessandro Tomei on sax and flute; the rhythmic brilliance of Andy Bartolucci, a young Roman performer, who played drums and percussion; the expert guitars of Marco Sinopoli, son of the famous orchestra conductor; and finally the piano and keyboards of Vito Caporale, who also handled the artistic direction of the album. The CD is articulate and enjoyable, varied in its musical settings, with the common thread of vocal harmonizations. However, the strong expressive personalities of the four Baraonna soloists emerge, who are also the authors and arrangers of the CD. 
The album contains parts in Italian, Neapolitan, English, French and "southern Esperanto". The recordings were made in Rome at the Delta Top studio and the MSMedia studio. The mixing and mastering were completed in Padua by Marco Lincetto, an expert in high-quality sound.
