Can anyone recommend any italian music please!??

im teaching myself how to speak italian and the book i bought recommends that i listen to some italian music so i can get used to listening to the language. anyone know anything decent? any style or genre is fine as long (but not opera cause there's no way i'll be able to understand a word they sing).

thanks!!

Can anyone recommend any italian music please!??events

hello,

i am half italian and hope i can help.

A few suggestions are

claudio baglioni (a classic and sings quite clealy...i love his songs even if they r a little old fashioned)

spaccanapoli is a great napolitan band..great music, but sing in napolitan dialect, so i don't know if that will be useful 4 u.

Riccardo Cocciante, same as baglioni...great.

Renato Zero

laura Pausini (practically all love songs we listened to in our teens, but pretty and enunciates v well i think)

Zucchero(the early cds)

Hope i could help out a bit ;)
