Omaggio a Battisti playlist

Tribute to Battisti

The most important interpreter of modern Italian song bequeathed a repertoire that many could draw from: pop and rock stars, voices from independent music and international artists. The anthology presents some vintage covers and other more recent ones, as well as curiosities like the Hollies singing in Italian, the Amen Corner that soared in the British charts, the Spanish version of Ancora tu and Mia Martini in a musical dialogue with the sax of Gianmarco in Pensieri e parole.
