Sanremo isn’t just a music festival. It’s a national tradition, a week when Italy stops to celebrate music, emotions, and a little bit of chaos. Every year, it introduces new artists to the spotlight, giving them a chance to share their music with millions. In the Nuove Proposte (New Proposals) category, fresh talents compete to launch their careers, and this year’s lineup is full of promising names.
Meet the Rising Stars
Here are some of the artists to keep an eye on:
- Alex Wyse: his song Rockstar blends classic rock with modern influences, reflecting on the dream of success and its hidden struggles.
- Maria Tomba: Goodbye. Voglio good vibes is an upbeat track that brings pure energy and positivity to the stage.
- Settembre: Vertebre has deep lyrics and a unique sound that’s bound to resonate with listeners.
- Vale LP and Lil Jolie: their duet Dimmi tu quando sei pronto per fare l'amore is a fusion of their distinctive styles, promising an emotional and captivating performance.
The influence of Sanremo on Italian culture
Did you know that Sanremo has also left its mark on Italian slang? The next episode of our podcast could only talk about Sanremo and, among other curiosities, Katia and Alessio had fun discovering how much this competition influences the Italian language and culture. Katia will also sing a few words from the very famous "Nel blu dipinto di blu", a song born in Sanremo and known throughout the world.
What does it mean that something is “Sanremese”? And who is Bugo?
Listen to the new podcast episode to find out how much Sanremo has become part of everyday life in Italy.
FantaSanremo: the viral part of Sanremo
One of the funniest things about the last Sanremo is the FantaSanremo, a league where fans create teams of artists and score points based on their on-stage silliness. Saying “papalina” on live TV? Points. Wearing something outrageous? More points. It started as a game between friends but has now become an essential part of the Sanremo experience, adding even more unpredictability and fun to the show.
Why We Love Sanremo
Whether you watch Sanremo for the music, the traditions, or simply for the unpredictability of the event, one thing is certain: Sanremo is pure magic. A week in which everyone's attention is focused on a single event, even with Valentine's Day in the middle. So, prepare the popcorn, choose your team for the FantaSanremo, and get ready to experience the festival that Italy never stops loving. Perché Sanremo è Sanremo!
