The Italian pop singer Al Bano, known for hits like “Felicità”, is critical of the modern music landscape, which is dominated by computers.
Pop singer Al Bano (80, “Felicità”) likes the modern one Not necessarily music. “Everything is done with computers these days, including music,” said the Italian in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “El País”. But you have to “accept” today’s generation of musicians. “Music is a mirror of the times,” it is “a daughter of the computerization of humanity.”
Al Bano, whose real name is Albano Carrisi, captivated audiences in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s with “Felicità” and other songs such as “Semper Semper”, “Sharazan” and “Ci sarà” in a duo with his then wife Romina Power an audience of millions. Al Bano emphasized in the interview that he was “still sorry today” about the end of his marriage and his collaboration with the American Romina Power (72), with whom he had four children.
“We were an extraordinary human and artistic duo (…) Romina and I were fascinating because we were true to ourselves. And people need truth in their lives,” said the man, who is still successful with his solo career today.
Next up for Al Bano are concerts in Riga (Latvia) as well as in Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and La Coruña (all Spain) in March as part of the “È la Mia Vita” (This is my life) tour.
