Sanremo, Renato Zero: ‘Little space for genres, only social media matters’

Rome, 29 September (LaPresse) – “Diodato and Ultimo – the latter raised on bread and Renato because I have been friends with his mother for many years and he is like a grandson to me – are among the most talented young artists because they want to leave their mark. I am wary of this Sanremo, however, because of the overly reckless choices to give space to artists who are successful mainly on social media, while pop and rock are left out. I would like those who make the decisions to take into account that there is room for everyone, without leaving any genre at home. The selection process needs to be more generous in considering a wider range of genres among the participants.” So said Renato Zero during the presentation of his new album “L’Orazero”.
