Rocco Hunt's Ode to Italian Music: A Fresh Sound Celebrating Cultural Identity

Today, on the radio and digital platforms, "Musica Italiana" (Epic/Sony Music), the new captivating song by Rocco Hunt, is released. A track with a fresh, contemporary sound, a dedication by the artist to the beauty of Italian music, a fundamental element of our cultural heritage, loved and appreciated all over the world. With cinematic images, Rocco tells the gentle and irresistible force with which an Italian song, heard suddenly, perhaps unexpectedly, is able to bring one back home, no matter if you are an Erasmus student, a worker who had to seek fortune elsewhere, or, as in the song, a couple building their future far from home. The feeling will always be the same: on one hand, the joy of getting back in touch with one's cultural identity thanks to sounds and words that are part of one's own experience, on the other hand, the bittersweet nostalgia for home. The suggestions are made even more vivid by the music video of the song, available today on YouTube, shot in the streets of New York, between the iconic skyline of the Big Apple and the characteristic streets of Little Italy, among glimpses and incredible postcard characters that play on the stereotype of the Italian-American. All this serves as a sparkling backdrop to the story of a couple of young adults played by Rocco and his wife Ada, who live far from the home that saw them grow up and who, after a moment of breakup, come together again, to the notes of a familiar music, an Italian music. Rocco Hunt is one of the most established voices in the Italian music scene. With his unique style of "urban poet", he is able to tell the life and the desire to succeed of the suburbs, as in the best tradition of rap culture, but also to make the audience of all ages dance and sing with hits that have become international successes. His over 40 platinum records collected between Italy, Spain, and France where he also achieved a Diamond record, his multiple collaborations with Italian and international artists, his 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a repertoire that boasts over 2.5 billion total streams make him one of the most appreciated Italian artists in the world. He is also the author and writer of multiple multi-platinum and diamond songs written for other artists, and in his more than 10 years of career, he has crossed paths with cinema several times both as an actor and by signing songs for soundtracks.
