Hey there all you soprano's out there,

I'm trying to work on my Italian here, but I'm all out of Italian music to listen to and dissect. I'm looking for suggestions for more good Italian artists that I might be able to find easily on, say, Rhapsody or iTunes. I've listened to just about as much Subsonica as I can stand (though I think they're great). Time for some new material.

Thanks in advance

Subsonica? Pavarotti? Forgetaboutit . . .

You can't go wrong with this guy!

Chow Bambino,

Well, that's all well and great, but he's still singing in english

So, è giusto me che sente esso nell'italiano . . .

Call up Space tonight, and maybe he'll sing you a lullaby.

hehe. Se fosse nell'italiano, mi piacerebbe più, ma non è. Vorrei trovare i canzoni d'italia, perche ho voglia di imparare la lingua. Cerco canzoni per imparare più velocimente, come ho fatto in spagnolo. Mi aiutava tanto.

I tried learning Spanish that way too, but I couldn't stand the music. Then I tried keeping the TV tuned to a Spanish language station while I slept, but that didn't work either . . .

NickD

haha, spanish television is even worse than the music! unless you fancy dangerously cheesy soap operas. do you?

uno dei migliori cantanti è Laura Pausini.

Ciao!

Pitura Freska -- they're a reggae band from Venice. I love 'em.

Jovanotti
Eros Ramazzotti
Antonello Venditti
Raf
Laura Pausini (ugly)
Tiziano Ferro (ugly too)

(these singers are good for learning, not so much 4 listening... )

Haha yea, I ran across Laura Pausini and just as her first album came to an end, I found myself cowering in the corner with a pencil in my hand, mere seconds away from stabbing myself repeatedly in the eyesocket.

But I learned lots of Italian from it

But thanks for the suggestions, everybody, it's been a great help. Now anyone got any good rock bands?

Some italian rock? mmmhh
Well,

Litfiba
Ligabue (not all the songs)
Vasco Rossi (not all the songs)

are you trying to hit on the two girls at the cafe/pub(LZ ITW)?? they`re freaking hot...damn

Contact Maestro, Mucho BASE team member. He is a composer and can play anything on anything. He was playing only banjo, guitar and harmonica this weekend though. He has been working on some weird Doppler effects called "Harmonica BASE" combining freefall and harmonica. hope this helps.
Take care,
