Matteo Bocelli: How he prepares for his debut in Argentina, why he sings in Spanish, and the advice from his famous father
Matteo Bocelli is preparing for his debut concert in Buenos Aires on March 1, where he will present his latest album 'Enamorarse', and shares insights on his language choices and his father's influence on his career.
Matteo Bocelli, son of the renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli, is gearing up for his first concert in Argentina, set for March 1, where he will introduce his latest album 'Enamorarse' at the Teatro Coliseo. In an interview, Matteo discussed his approach to a career that he aims to establish with his own identity, diverging from solely relying on his father's illustrious career. This independence reflects in his decision to communicate primarily in Spanish during his interactions in Argentina, highlighting his enthusiasm for embracing the local culture.
Raised in Forte dei Marmi, Tuscany, Matteo has a deep appreciation for his roots and the inspirations of his surroundings, including Florence, a city steeped in Renaissance history. Despite being an Italian native, he feels comfortable speaking Spanish, although he humorously notes that his proficiency is still developing. This linguistic choice not only helps him connect with his Argentine audience but also signifies his commitment to blending his Italian heritage with a broader Latin music identity.
The advice from his father, Andrea Bocelli, has been foundational in shaping Matteo's artistic direction, as he navigates the music industry while seeking to carve out his niche. With influences stemming from both his father's career and his own experiences, Matteo Bocelli is poised to make a significant impact in the music scene, and his upcoming performance in Buenos Aires will serve as a pivotal moment in his journey as an artist.
