Jovanotti

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jovanotti, 2008

Jovanotti (actually Lorenzo Cherubini ; born September 27, 1966 in Rome , Italy ) is an Italian cantautore .

biography

As a teenager , Cherubini began to play in clubs and at various local radio stations. At the age of nineteen he came to Milan , where the music producer and radio maker Claudio Cecchetto discovered him and recruited him for his station. He then became known as Jovanotti . His passion for rap and hip-hop finally culminated in two singles, then in his first album Jovanotti for President .

Music and TV

He worked in two television music programs in succession and wrote the book Yo, brothers and sisters . After all, he also hosted MTV . Jovanotti attaches great importance to stylistic diversity in his music and emphasizes the importance and balance of both the sound-rhythmic and the linguistic components, as could be deduced from his repetitive intro on the album "Una Tribù che balla" (1991): Rap should be closed 100% to be lived: 50 content, 50 movement ("Rap si viva al 100%: 50 contenuto, 50 movimento"). Stylistically, he moved the furthest with Lorenzo 1997 - L'Albero (1997), a veritable world music album. A film was made about it later. In terms of content, the texts also fluctuated between political and social statements, positive thinking and easy living.

He also edited a book to accompany the Lorenzo album in 1994 : Cherubini . In 1998 he published another, Il grande boh! . Although he is seen more as a commercial representative of his guild in the Italian hip-hop scene, Jovanotti has a political conscience that he tries to reconcile with his mass success: in 2000, for example, he made a guest appearance at the Sanremo Festival with a piece, which culminated in calls for debt relief for the world's poorest countries.

Career in Italy

In Italy, Jovanotti was able to climb the top of the singles charts several times, three times in 1988 alone ( Gimme Five , Gimme Five 2 , È qui la festa? ) And with Serenata rap (1994), Per te (1999), A te (2008), Baciami ancora and Tutto l'amore che ho (both 2010). He had his greatest chart success in Germany in 1994 with Serenata Rap, which rose to number 20. The album Lorenzo 94 and all six studio albums that have been released since then reached the top of the Italian album charts, the last Ora to date was number 2 in Switzerland.

Personal

Jovanotti is married and has a daughter (* 1998). He dedicated the songs Per te on the album Lorenzo 1999 - Capo Horn (1999) and Libera on the album Lorenzo 2015 cc (2015) to her.
