Andrea Bocelli: excellence in Italian music
On September 22, 1958, a star of the Italian music scene was born. In 61st birthday by Andrea Bocelli, we join the celebrations of relatives, friends and fans to pay homage to a personality as modest as it is talented, who enchants us with his voice and makes us proud of his extraordinary artistic skills. In his life Bocelli managed to be appreciated not only by Italian colleagues, but also by foreign actors, directors and singers. For their 60th birthday many of them (including Madonna and Tom Cruise to name a few) have decided to show him affection and esteem with a greeting video posted on Facebook.
But, despite the demonstrations of esteem from the whole world, Andrea Bocelli remains one reserved and modest person, inextricably linked to loved ones. A unique artist, always ready to give his best on stage to thank those who follow him with passion. Values, love for music and that little bit of humor that makes him even more lovable, make him a world star impossible not to adore. Opera music with him has known a new era. Today Bocelli is also capable of attracting many young people who see him as a point of reference and face this musical reality once considered elite.
A growing career
The passion for music was born in the Italian tenor from an early age. At the age of 6 he began to study piano, flute and even the saxophone, immediately demonstrating his skills. A talent that, over time, finds expression precisely through that deep voice that made him famous. Defined as the successor of the great Luciano Pavarotti, for a short period he worked in a law firm but law is not the great goal of his life. Andrea Bocelli does not stop studying music and singing, until those decisive encounters arrive that have changed his life and career.
sugar and Caterina Caselli are the first to believe in him! Then his voice does the rest, traveling from city to city, from country to country, until he becomes a star not only in opera, but also in pop music. "The calm evening sea”Is the cult song that makes him famous and makes him known to the world. The piece triumphs al Festival of Sanremo 1994 in the big category. And since then he began a journey in continuous ascent that still today sees him at the top. And we can only be proud of this Italian pride to which we sincerely wish: Happy birthday!
