the legend returns

Nasal-voiced Italian songwriting genius Toto Cutugno plays Casino Rama on Sunday September 13 at 8 PM. Here's where to get your tickets. Hitch a ride there on a Taipei Tours casino bus for like $3 round trip, departures from all over Toronto. Just google Taipei Tours for the deets.

I think Italians hate Cutugno because he actually sounds Italian (and therefore provincial to their ears). There's something in his music that you don't hear in Anglo-American top 40, unlike say Laura Pausini. Or it could be his cliche lyrics. Me, I love the guy. He has so many perfect hits it's hard to pick just one so here's an unplugged medley. Bonus: he lip-syncs his masterpiece at the end. I would also kill for his hair.

As soon as I saw the post for ToTo's concert I remembered my buddy Dino saying " I love when he says Un Italiano verro! in his tune" He shook his head, smiled & said " I love the guy!" for him his parents and many other Italians he surely is an icon of the Italian music Industry... Thanks for the opp. Marcelo.
