The reference is to Sangiovanni (17 platinum discs), Rkomi (33 platinum) and Blanco (27 platinum): we are talking about artists able to collect respectively 2.2 million, 4 million and 3.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Then there is the Spanish Ana Mena who travels on the 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 16 platinum records. Or Irama (29 platinums), Elisa (34), Emma (28), Giusy Ferreri (18), just to give some examples of a cast “very close to the market trend, to the tastes of the public who love and consume music. “, comments Mazza.

His enthusiasm, his generosity, his cheerfulness and his friendship, have infected me and convinced me to propose my participation. I thank Amadeus who also chose our song among the 22 that will be in the race. I am enthusiastic, excited as a rookie “, Morandi writes on his social profiles. Jova echoes him: Morandi “asked me a few months ago if I had a song that made me think about her voice and her story and from that day I thought about it until suddenly she arrived and called him shouting at him. Ho! He listened to my demo and he came to me, but far from kneeling, he was happy to work on it and find the key. #love listened to it and the flower man said YES! now we finish it for good. The return of #gianni on that stage will be exciting. I am happy that the piece has been admitted to the competition, for me to be part of this thing is very beautiful, a thousand thoughts crowd in my head, many memories related to my life passionate about music and entertainment, and as many linked to the future of an artist like #morandi who has this desire to play, participate, get excited and excited. Let’s stay united !!!!! “, he concludes, quoting the slogan of Morandi conductor (in 2011 and 2012) in Sanremo, where he won in 1987.

On that stage, @ditointhepiaga and I will have a big party and you are all invited”.
