Last year I was fortunate to be in Italy during the Sanremo song festival and I got to see how important it is to Italian culture. I remember sitting down at the dinner table with my boyfriend and his family and watching the festival on TV while we ate dinner. They had many famous Italian singers and song writers who would perform in front of huge crowds as well as young, undiscovered artists who were attempting to break into stardom.
This year the festival starts Feb. 16 and will last for almost 3 weeks. I will continue to add links for everyone once the concert starts and update you on the performers and winners of the contests.
I used to hear about this festival all the time, when I was a kid. Some Brazilian artists did quite well there, along the years...
