Il Volo returns with second Spanish-language album ‘Mas Que Amor’

Teenage pop-opera tenors Il Volo have just unveiled their latest album, “Mas Que Amor”, which finds the Italian trio tackling their 2012 hit album “We Are Love“ in Spanish. It’s just one of many releases scheduled this year for the highly popular and prolific singers.

The Spanish version finds Piero Barone (19), Gianluca Ignoble (18) and Ignazio Boschetto (18) performing alongside such luminaries as singer/actress Belinda on “Constantemente Mia”, popular Italian artist Eros Ramazzotti on “Asi,” and a collaboration with the infamous Placido Domingo on “Il Canto”. It also includes a powerful cover of U2’s classic hit “Beautiful Day”.

The album marks what will surely be another hit in Il Volo’s short yet highly successful career. The trio released their self-titled, debut in 2011 to international acclaim and released a Spanish version months later to equal praise. The group was nominated for two Latin Grammys, Best New Artist and Best Pop Album By A Duo/Group, that same year.



Il Volo’s skyrocketing fame and popularity failed to slow in 2012 thanks to a live PBS special, numerous performances on U.S. television in the, such as “American Idol”, “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno“, “Good Morning America” and others, as well as a six-night stint as the opening act for Barbra Streisand.

The trio met in 2009 while competing against each other on the Italian television show “Ti Lascio Una Canzone” (“Leavin‘ You A Song“), a variety show that includes a music competition. Ginoble won the competition with his rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s “Il Mare Calmo Della Sera” and the three performed the classic “O Sole Mio” as a trio on the program. Their cover was a huge hit and Ginoble, Barone and Ignoble began working together as the chart-topping, global hit they are today.

As if that weren’t enough, the trio recently traveled to Miami Beach, Fla., where they recorded not one but two more PBS specials. They teamed up again with concert director Richard Jay-Alexander for two shows at The Fillmore Miami Beach. The recordings will be released later this year.
