Ivan Segreto

Another residual of Daniele's visit: Ivan Segreto, a guy that sings jazzy songs, in Italian, and sometimes even Sicilian. I like the courage of singing in Sicilian, it's very difficult to avoid banality with such a rich and colorful language. The music is well executed, and the songs are nice to hear, but, at least on first impression, I didn't like the CD too much. The melodic lines are too repetitive, and his special way of singing does not help them. And his sicilian is far from the perfection of the Master. It's a shame in a way, but in the other end this CD is promising. This guy has all the ingredients to become very good, I am sure.
