Italian Super Star, Jovanotti Took Manhattan By Storm.

Super star, singer/songwriter Jovanotti came, saw and definitely conquered New York City. He spent his summer playing at some of the most intimate clubs in New York City, where he experimented with new sounds and worked with native New Yorker musicians to create an innovative experience and concert. Jovanotti is known as one of the biggest celebs in Italy as a singer/songwriter and now his crossover into the USA has proven to be a success. He's scheduled for his last show at Santo's Party House in New York City on August 5th at 7 pm..

How great to see Jovanotti here in the U.S. and featured in your blog. I have been a fan of his since 1994, when a German friend of mine gave me his "Lorenzo 1994" CD. Loved it instantly! Great lyrics, great tunes! It even got me learning a little Italian. (Well, that and an Italian boyfriend...) I have a ton of favorites on that album, but "Piove" stands out. Great to hear he is working the U.S. market now. I wish him all the best! He's got a great message and great music, fun and upbeat. Thanks for featuring him in your blog, and giving me a little blast from the past.
