I do not discount Modugno at all, since he was the first Italian pop singer I ever heard or knew the name of. I was severelot disappointed when I saw video of Modugno, however. As a child I imagined him young, handsome, suave and then discovered he was already middle-aged when he introduced Volare! To me he looked like a guy who would hang out at a casino. But who doesn't know Volare and Piove, piove, even if under a different title? I just don't like the newcomers who sound like children, the Britney type. I don't believe they can mean anything they sing. You are right, Gianna, and that on-going music tradition is a wonderful part of living here.

Maybe the music is less melodic and you can't grasp the real meaning. Young singers sometimes are witnesses of the current uneasiness and discomfort of the society they live. Among the classics try Domenico Modugno: a pioneer of modern texts. I think there are also lots of current songs by young authors with wonderful words.
