"Open Arms Preschool" Promo
Santa Lucia
Giamaica
Roman Smirnov and Lorena Di Lisi produced this version of Santa Lucia for their CD "Ciao Bella" released in 2015. "Santa Lucia" is a traditional Neapolitan song that celebrates the picturesque waterfront district, Borgo Santa Lucia, in the Bay of Naples. The song is an invitation to the boatman to take a turn in his boat and better enjoy the cool of the evening.
The filming concept of this is a sailor boy (Eddy Renelique) pining for his lost love (Angela Seth). He imagines dancing with his love to this song that reminds him of Santa Lucia.
