ITALIAN MUSICListen to Italian Music Radio nowBestsellers The music of Italy: Italian singers, Italian classical music, Italian Opera, Italian jazz When people think of Italian music, they often think of either the folkloric style with mandolins and accordion or the contemporary pop and classical artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini, and Eros Ramazzotti. The modern music of Italy has roots in the earlier melodic form evolved from the opera compositions and arias. During the early 20th century many popular songs had the structure of these classical arias. Later in the 30s and 40s, foreign influences such as jazz from United States brought the Italian songs to a more universal style with artists often similar to the crooners of those years. During the 50s, the Festival di Sanremo highlighted songs that still maintened the early classical melodies but introduced a rhytmic base in line with the styles from USA, and other parts of Europe. In the last 50 years the Italian music style has taken inspiration from foreign influences, from pop to rock, and the singer-songwriters ballads with more compelling lyrics about social and political issues. Although opera is still a big part of the music scene of Italy, especially with artists like Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli, the modern influences of pop culture have somehow blended in, and the Italian song is now considered by some critics just a reflection of this pop culture, disposable and forgettable. There are however, several contemporary Italian artists that keep producing excellent music, among them Francesco De Gregori, Lucio Dalla, the late Lucio Battisti and Fabrizio De Andrè, and singers that rivals if not surpass international stars, like Mina, considered the best Italian singer of the past century, Ornella Vanoni, Giorgia, Carmen Consoli, Zucchero, Jovanotti, Vasco Rossi, and many more. For more information about Italian music, you can visit the excellent Wikipedia article, or see a list of Italian artists.
