Following the successful release of his previous album “Tranquillità †on Warner Music and a career that launched him internationally with tours in the US, Europe and Asia, ALFIO is back with a new album, “CLASSIC REWINDSâ€. This album pays tribute to the artists who shaped and formed his passion for music and features 15 tracks from classic artists of Italian-American background such as Mario Lanza, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Frankie Valli, Bon Jovi, and more. ALFIO recorded an eclectic mix of classics for this album, choosing some songs that haven’t been heard in many years and that make one’s heart melt as they are re-discovered all over again. Songs like “Papa Loves Mambo†which sets the stage for a fun, feel-good collection of songs, “Where Do I Begin†showcases his vocal range from a soft timbre one minute to a full bravado the next, even Bon Jovi’s “Always†is included, as the album brings mainstream sensibility to the millions of contemporary fans around the world. With a mixture of up-tempos and ballads recorded in ALFIO’s style, this album takes you on a nostalgic musical journey and it reminds you why these songs are classics. “This album is a legacy to the contribution that these great artists have made to our lives and a way for me to keep their memory alive as I rewind the classics of yesterday and bring them back to you today,†says ALFIO.
As he pays tribute to his fellow countrymen on “CLASSIC REWINDSâ€, ALFIO, an accomplished musician and songwriter, has included a few songs he wrote such as “Voce Puraâ€, a beautiful song written for Luciano Pavarotti after ALFIO met and dined with him in late 2005. Sung in “pure voice,†this song is a loving tribute to the Maestro.
ALFIO is a mesmerizing performer whether sitting at the piano, with the band, orchestra or simply using the microphone and his voice. He often has the crowd singing, dancing and sometimes even moved to tears. One thing is clear when he’s on stage: he LOVES to sing and wants everyone to enjoy listening to the songs as much as he enjoys singing them.
