This last song is the only Italian one. It is a strange song, written for the football world cup in Brasil. The singer is a young "rapper" (notice the ""), we have a lot of those young "rappers" in Italy in the last years. Sadly.
Vasco is a really famous singer in Italy. Just to give the idea, this album was published 2 month ago and is already in the 2nd position for the most sold albums in 2014.
The club dogo is a "rap" music group. The song I'm going to post is a collaboration with Arisa, winner of the last San Remo festival. It is a really strange collaboration...
