  3. Now released in English.

    Heads of state from more than two dozen countries has spoken with our president. And Ireland took a unique way of using its cultural power. Great to see Bono doing what he can do.
    He just got more fans and haters here haha

    Regarding the request... realistically, there is a long waiting line and I don't believe this country has sufficient capacity of medical supplies. Test kits are produced enough to be exported, though.
    (I'm kind of wondering what on earth is going on in the world, btw)

    That is very admirable and noble indeed.

    Lets be honest. That was for the benefit of complete media spin. Given his disastrous showing at the polls.

    Don't think it's strange at all. They participated by a more than generous donation already

    Zucchero canta Bono Vox Questa notte, mercoledì 22 aprile, in occasione del 50° Anniversario della Giornata Mondiale della Terra (Earth Day), Zucchero in una Piazza Colosseo deserta a ROMA ha eseguito per la prima volta in assoluto l’inedito ed emozionante brano “CANTA LA VITA”, tratto da “Let Your Love Be Know” di Bono Vox con il testo in italiano a firma di Zucchero. “Canta la vita” è l’ennesima conferma di un sodalizio artistico che lega Zucchero e Bono da molti anni. In un periodo così complesso come quello che stiamo attraversando, questa canzone è un messaggio positivo di speranza e conforto per tutti. Un inno alla Vita. Un’esibizione unica in cui, nell’inciso finale, le voci di entrambi gli artisti si fondono e uniscono, per lanciare un messaggio mondiale di grande unione. «Questa canzone è nata nella fase iniziale dell’emergenza – racconta ZUCCHERO – Quando ho sentito Bono, eravamo entrambi molto scossi dalla drammaticità del momento che il Nord Italia stava vivendo. Però quello che ci ha colpito è stata la reazione delle persone, vederle e sentirle sui balconi cantare. Quindi ci siamo detti che avremmo dovuto fare qualcosa per sottolineare che il canto è una grande forma di resistenza. In un dramma come quello che stiamo vivendo, attraverso il canto si può essere più vicini, si può reagire insieme, in tutte le parti del mondo. La musica, attraversa i muri ed accorcia le distanze».

    Tonight, Wednesday, April 22, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of World Earth Day, Zucchero in a deserted Colosseum Square in ROME performs for the first time ever the new and exciting song "CANTA LA VITA", taken from "Let Your Love Be Know" by Bono Vox with the Italian lyrics by Zucchero.

    "Canta la vita" is the umpteenth confirmation of an artistic partnership that links Zucchero and Bono for many years. In such a complex period like the one we are going through, this song is a positive message of hope and comfort for everyone. A hymn to Life. A unique performance in which, in the final recording, the voices of both artists merge and unite, to launch a worldwide message of great union. "This song was born in the initial phase of the emergency - says ZUCCHERO - When I heard Bono, we were both very shaken by the drama of the moment that Northern Italy was experiencing. But what struck us was the reaction of the people, seeing them and hearing them singing on the balconies. So we said to ourselves that we should do something to emphasize that singing is a great form of resistance. In a drama like the one we are experiencing, through singing you can be closer, you can react together, in all parts of the world. Music, it crosses walls and shortens distances".
