ITALIAN SINGERS IN THE WORLD

Italians are known as lovers of the "bel canto",  but do they also have international pop music stars? Well, there are singers of Italian origins that are really famous in the USA, the UK and all over the world and today I'd like  to introduce you some of  the best known. 

JACK SAVORETTI

He was born on the 10^th of October, 1983 in London. His father is native of Genoa, so Jack is Anglo-Italian. He is very famous in acustic music and some music experts consider him the new Bob Dylan.

The London's Daily Telegraph says that the singer plays the guitar like he had a 'primitive magic on it'. When he was a teenager he used to write poetry. When he was 16 his mother bought him a guitar and he started to join music and words.  He has become very popular in the UK. These are his albums:

• Between The Minds (2007)
• Harder Than Easy (2009)
• Before the Storm (2012)
• Written In Scars (2015)
• Sleep No More (2016)
  

I think he has got a fantastic and powerful voice. You must listen to one one his songs!

This is one of my favourite --->  Written in Scars

ALESSIA CARA

Alessia Caracciolo, known as Alessia Cara (Brampton, July 11, 1996), is a Canadian singer of Italian origins.

She has played the guitar since she was 10 years old and she started to sing when she was very young. When she was 13, she started to publish covers on youtube, to overcome her shyness.

In 2015 she was hired by the Def Jam Recordings and she begins with the song “Here” in the same year. Her first album was published on the 13^th of November, 2015 and the title is“Know it all”.

Her latest song How far I'll go is the soundtrack of “Moana”, a new Disney movie.
