Yuman, Tananai and Matteo Romano from Sanremo Giovani to the Ariston, without going through the street.
The three singers convinced Amadeus and the Festival's Musical Commission and won a place in the Olympus of the Big, which will thus be 25 from 1 to 5 February. An all-male podium: Yuman won singing a Thousand Nights, according to Tananai who convinced with Esagerata, third Matteo Romano with the piece Testa e Croce.
At the Ariston in February, Yuman will bring Now and here, Tananai Sex occasional and Matteo Romano Virale.
On the evening that was to be dedicated to them, live on Rai1 from the Sanremo Casino, much of the attention was captured by the catwalk of the most famous colleagues who, after having already been announced by Amadeus himself ten days ago, revealed in person the title of their songs. The only justified absentee due to covid positivity was Elisa, who however connected from home via Skype and will be competing with Or maybe it's you.
A passage of a few minutes, announced by the more or less recent successes of each of them. Long applause and standing ovations were reserved by the audience for Massimo Ranieri (who will take Letter beyond the sea), Iva Zanicchi (I want to love you) and Gianni Morandi (Open all doors), who made the history of the festival. There were moments of emotion as when Lucio Dalla was remembered, in the edition conducted in 2012 by Morandi, who collected the last tribute from the public at the Ariston. Achille Lauro, in his fourth consecutive participation, announced that at the Ariston he will be with Domenica and with the Harlem Gospel Choir "one of the most important choirs in the world", he stressed.
For each of the artists Amadeus has reserved an ad hoc welcome: a greeting clip by Caterina Caselli for Sangiovanni (Farfalle), one by Gigi D'Alessio for Aka 7even (Perfect as it is), both Neapolitans. Tommaso Paradiso gave the charge to Rkomi (Insuperabile), Diodato greeted Giovanni Truppi (Your father, my mother, Lucia). The Negramaro sent their video message for Highsnob & Hu (Take care of yourself), while Malika Ayane did it for Dargen D'Amico (Where to dance).
Emma (every time it is like this) was honored with the memory of her victory and that of her participation alongside Carlo Conti. As well as Fabrizio Moro (It's you), who won paired with Ermal Meta. To demonstrate how the artists discovered on TV that they were chosen, for some the reactions at the time of the announcement were broadcast: the explosive joy of Ana Mena (Two hundred thousand hours) in Madrid and Michele Bravi (Winter of flowers ) in front of a cellphone with friends, the tender one of Giusy Ferreri (Honey) who shared it with her little daughter. Also Ditonellapiaga with Rector (Chemistry) and then the darlings of the youngest Mahmood & Blanco (Shivers) came to tell about their meeting and their collaboration.
Irama (Wherever you will be) recalled his unfortunate participation last year when he got "stuck" due to contact with a positive and during the week of the festival the same performance of the dress rehearsal was always aired, including unkempt hair.
Since last year, the duo from The Representative of Lista (Ciao Ciao) has also arrived, with their looks.
Di Noemi (I love you I don't know how to say) the previous six participations have been remembered.
Last Big Passes The Vibrations (Lots).
For everyone, an appointment in February at the Ariston.
