Sanremo - Blog Posts
There's a super famous singing festival in italy that airs for a week every year. This year, one of the singers, Ghali, did some very remarkable things on that stage. Ghali was born in Italy from Tunisian parents, his career has been going on for a while, but this was his first time on that stage.
He made a song where he references Palestine where he sings: "how can you say everything is fine down here, where in order to trace borders with imaginary lines you bomb an hospital, for a piece of land or for a piece of bread there is no peace" . He also did a medley, singing also in arabic for the first time in the history of the festival.
Last night, during the final, he ended his performance asking to "stop the genocide!" I don't have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing pro-Palestine on italian media... and he used the biggest stage he could use to say that.
Today on a tv programme he was accused by the Isra*li ambassador of spreading hate and violence, to which he replied with those words in the following video (credits to the person who translated it here):
The italian TV broadcaster quickly posted a press release to distance themselves from this speech and to reiterate their whole support to Isr*el lol Towards the end of this tv programme, a few hours after Ghali said what you can hear in this video, they read the press release out loud. This is how Isra*li propaganda works everywhere, thanks to the complicity of our governments.
Just want to post about him because he really risked it all and I appreciate him incredibly for everything he did...if only everyone could do the same. And fuck italy and its fascist government.
Can we talk about how beautiful the female singers are?

Sanremo (aka the most popular italian song festival) took my soul hostage for two weeks, so I had to draw at least one participant. Here there are Rancore and Veronica (from the band La Rappresentante di Lista) - give them a listen if you want because they are amazing! 🌜🌍
Their performance has been deleted from youtube, but luckily @jesuiskafka has reposted it here on tumblr (link)

As an Italian I'm still recovering from Sanremo embarrassing.
Certo che vincere la sera in cui hai scelto l'outfit più di merda e finire negli annali vestito come una pattinatrice di holiday on ice non è proprio il massimo ...better than the rest anyway
Yeah, I'm taking back my words not even 24h later. I don't understand a single Italian word but this song feels so poetic, the kind where you want to yell your heart out.
Why is this year's eurovision entries sound so underwhelming... even the one that's supposed to be the silly fun entry
I'm a fan of Ultimo and, if you're wondering about his personality, he's such a cinnamon roll just that he gives off a vibe of being kind of lost all the time 😅. Also, he can be really silly in some interviews, but he speaks with a lot of passion about music and is very invested in mental health because he struggled (struggles maybe) with his own mental health in some serious ways. He doesn't seem like a journalist's fan either, but is really sweet with his fans and, even when he seems to be a little bit serious or shy, he is really sweet to talk with according to people who had meet him. That's all I know. Oh, and there's new music too!
I’m obsessed with Italian music and I don’t speak italiano, a thread.
So in other to not being alone I’m gonna recommend you some artists.
Ultimo
His songs are the best ones to cry with and his voice is amazing. I don’t know much about his personality, I discovered him because he competed against Mahmood at Sanremo.
Måneskin
Great music, great voice. I have heard two or three songs at the moment but I really love them. I know nothing about their personalities.
Mahmood
Such a cinnamon roll and a cutie pie. He has his own style (he calls it morocco-pop) which is so cool and catchy. The lyrics are so deep and meaningful (you can tell they are for him when watching live videos). Also he released his first album earlier this year, that means fresh music!
He won Sanremo festival and achieved second place at Eurovision contest (Italy was robbed), clap clap!
Fedez
Last one, probably some of you have heard of him because he got married to Chiara Ferragni. Whatever, he has some happy songs that you can sing and dance even though you don’t speak Italian.
I don’t own any of the pictures, duh!
