Kicking off the new year on a high note, multi-platinum DJ and producer Agatino Romero joins forces with the 4 x Billboard Dance Music Chart-ranked DJ, producer, and remixer GATTÜSO on a new track loaded with powerful dance energy. Honoring Agatino Romero‘s Italian roots, the duo presents an electrifying electronic revamp of Toto Cutugno‘s international pop hit and cultural anthem – “L’Italiano,” out now on Virgin Records. Combining their signature beats and captivating electronic dance styles, this release promises to seduce listeners worldwide with its fresh take on a beloved classic. The original version from 1983 topped European charts and remains a renowned cultural trademark for Italians globally.
“L’Italiano is not just a modern interpretation of Toto Cutugno’s classic, but also connects the energy and emotions of my Italian roots, just like the new version of ‘Pedro’ did. Together with GATTÜSO, we’ve managed to combine the idea of tradition and harmony with modern energy, tempo, and even more amore!“ – Agatino Romero
“I remember L’Italiano as a child, driving in the car with my parents to the sound of this song, just like a scene from a movie. This song has become iconic in every country I have traveled or lived in, and has held a small place in my heart to this day. Now, I am very happy to collaborate with Agatino and bring to the world a dance version of this hit, along with the legendary voice of Toto Cutugno!“ – GATTÜSO
