Last year Zucchero was one of the artists participating in a tribute concert to celebrate the life of Luciano Pavarotti and raise money for UNHCR in Petra, Jordany. Now, a dvd of this concert, which also included performers such as Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Laura Pausini, Jovanotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, is available. Zucchero performs two songs (Va, Pensiero and Nel Cosi Blu) and delivers a speech about Pavarotti.
At the end of this month, the annual San Remo Festival will take place once again, and for the first time since 2001 (when Zucchero (co-)wrote both the winning and running up songs performed by Elisa and Giorgia) Zucchero will be an active participant, this time backing his daughter Irene, with the fellow members of his band Adelmo E I Sorapis, on the song “Spiove Il Sole”, which will be contending in the Proposet category (as far as we can tell intended for younger artists).
