Thread per la Musica Italiana

(computer berserk again, sorry, folks)


FOR INFO ABOUT HIM:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_De_Gregori

Speaking of Turquia, here's a very nice cover of an Italian song (originally sung by pobre Mina).

It was actually covered by many Turkish artists but this version is special because it's a duet and it was a song that promoted a movie written and directed by no more no less than the male singer, ie. Özcan Deniz. The film itself is a bitter-sweet marital comedy that's almost a cover of the Italian movie "Mattrimonio all'italiana" by VIttorio de Sica.

Those who know a bit about the Turkish culture also know that Italy has been only second to France as the source of inspiration for Turkish artists, musicians and writers.

Turquia, sempre, sempre dodici punti. Brava!


"Ya sonra" (And then?)

A trip to Venezia. Many excellent songs have been composed about Venice- in many of them the Gondola is mentioned

Luciano Tajoli:

an English girl on the Canal Grande
looks at the moon, smiles and leaves
gondola....
a little sentimental baker appears on the bridge
sighs deeply
she smiles and he blinks an eye at her
and in that very moment
a lovestory is (being) born
gondola...
each night in Venezia
underneath the moon
on the lagoon glides
a most most beautiful dream of love

OK, now this is only loosely connected with Italia. As Sinan Akçıl paid a visit to Paris to shoot the video to his latest song, his colleague Gökhan Özen had earlier travelled to Milan (funny that both of them chose two rivalling European fashion capitals )

We shall also take a short trip to Venice soon.

Zucchero, just like Amerigo Vespucci before him, has reached l'America. Here's a duet with lovely Randy Crawford as a proof:

*********
*Diamante*****

A song that perhaps should have opened this thread. But, due to Chris Botti's participation in, it matches the Zucchero's post.

Dall'America in Italia .

Buona notte a tutti!

My favourite city in Europe: ROMA.

Rafet El Roman is enjoying Venice, that doesn't seem o bit triste in his video

I'm just back from a Venezian carneval , where they usually sing traditional Veneto folksongs: One of them is this:
describing the work of a gondolier....

Pino Daniele and Giorgia

Franceso Guccini: big name in Italia in 70's and 80's:

Thumbs up for Pawel today, guys! If I am right he's under surgery for a few days...
So: let the shine down upon him oggi e domani

Grazie mille,

he survived it!

Therefore he hurried back here to add his favourite Italian air, without which you couldn't call it an Italian thread, could you?

So, let's listen to Anghela Gheorghiu singing "Un bel di vedremo" from "Madama Butterfly"

Yup, we wouldnot have let this thread die, Pawel. Italian music is too precious! Battisti sings appropriately
