I moved to Italy when I was 14, and one of the first things I thought was that the music there was terrible. Until finally,one day, I heard Pino Daniele's album "Vaimo`". I basically grew up on this album, and wore the grooves out of it. He has also done some interesting work with a lot of American artists. Unfortunately he isn't know at all here in the US . I highly recommend this album to anybody that likes fusion (jazz/blues/r&b), and excellent musicianship. Buy it !

I was 28 years old, in Italy inside a car crammed with other young people, all Italian except myself. There were three men, including myself and five beautiful women. We were on the way to a disco on the beach. A song comes on the radio and all the women start singing along to the words and a moment later the whole car was singing. I asked who was singing and the girls said all together "Pino Daniele!"
You may be able to learn Italian phrases or visit St. Peters in Rome, but you haven't experienced Italian hospitality until you mention you like Pino Daniele, they will love you for it.
He is popular, and every Italian knows his music. Pino Daniele is held dear to the hearts of most Italians and I would compare him to Billy Joel. Just as everyone here knows a Billy Joel song, everyone in Italy knows a Pino Daniele song.
