Al Bano, Gianni Morandi and Massimo Ranieri sing together for the first time and they do it on the Ariston stage: the festival audience goes into a frenzy and doesn't stop applauding. The three famous interpreters, the story of italian song, enthralled the theater audience and millions of tuned-in viewers in their fantastic medley of famous songs. At a rapid pace, one after the other, the songs that make up the soundtrack of Italy for the last 50 years have set the Ariston on fire.
I was going at one hundred an hour, If the city burned down, Morning, Red roses, The rain is coming down, Happiness; a challenge between ever greens with three extraordinary voices. The three singers perform and Italy sings with them, without missing a single verse of each song. TO Losing love, sung with Ranieri by the whole theater, echoes Morandi who excites with One in a thousand. Al Bano closes with It's my life. The standing audience is irrepressible and loudly calls for an encore. Of course, the three artists accept the request and sing together "Our concert” by Umberto Bindi, one of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
Al Bano, Morandi and Ranieri
The three singers created an unforgettable moment of music during the second evening of the Sanremo festival. About half an hour of great entertainment, a tribute to Italian music: the one that has entered everyone's heart, the one that everyone (young people and adults) sings and loves with passion. The eternal boys of singing, three real sacred monsters, laughed and joked with the artistic director Amadeus and also celebrated Albano who will soon turn 80. For the occasion, 4 cakes entered the stage (each one for every twenty years); the birthday boy also kissed the stage and did push-ups to thank the Sanremo festival from which his long career.
The festival continues tonight with the third evening; yesterday's one unraveled between competing singers, singing guests and comedians deliberately and strongly transgressive. The journalist led the evening together with Amadeus Francesca Fagnani. From the series: everything that makes a show, the viewer has the task of choosing what is worth and what deserves relative attention.
