The deep but soft baritone voice of Italian Mario Biondi achieved that intoxicating effect with this song that catapulted him to success back in 2006. And it goes on and on.
Considered the great European voice of jazz and soul, with a staging somewhere between crooner and soulman, Biondi returns to these parts next Wednesday at the Barcelona Coliseum as part of the 25th Banco Mediolanum Festival del Mil·leni . The singer from Sicily, who has been compared to Barry White or Al Jarreau, lands with a new album, Crooning Undercover in which he opts for a more classical and orchestral sound, very well surrounded by big names in jazz from his country.
On this tour, in which he will also visit Malaga and Madrid in April, Biondi takes the opportunity, in a smaller format, to review his best songs and covers from a prolific career that so far has 13 albums in just over 20 years and collaborations. of notable international prestige.
