Il Volo: "We mixed pop with opera"

The Italian group Il Volo, which in Spanish means "The Flight" is a lyrical pop singing trio. It is composed of Piero Barone, born in Sicily, Ignazio Boschetto, from Bologna, and Gianluca Ginoble, from the land of Abruzzo. The three teenagers singing Italian classics, pop songs in Spanish, English, French and Italian. Publinews talked to Boschetto about how they met, their favorite duets and musical tastes.
 
How did you meet?
We met two years ago during the talent show "ti lascio una canzone", each singing solo . There were 39 contestants. Gradually we were talking and we are now in this project that excites us.

Why you decided to record the song "Constantemente Mia" with Belinda?
We wanted to have a partnership with an American artist. We are looking for several months until we fond Belinda. We liked her style. We mixed opera with pop.

How does it feel to have songs in duet with singers Placido Domingo and Eros Ramazzotti?
Incredible. Two stars of our country. Placido Domingo is the best known and beloved singer in the opera genre. With it we have the theme "Il Canto". And I hear Ramazzotti since I was child . It is an honor to sing a duet with him, the song "Così".

You also sing rock songs in English.
Yes most famous versions are the bands Aerosmith and U2.

Do you like rock?
Yes is what I hear most. My favorite artists are Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder and AC / DC.

Many fans are wondering where Il Volo buy your clothes.
Really? (laughs). My favorite clothes are T-shirts and jeans. The Armani brand I love, but in the end what I really like is to feel comfortable.
