‘Chitarra Suona Più Piano’ by Alfredo Malabello

Alfredo unveiled his version of this very famous Italian song ‘Chitarra Suona Più Piano’ on his successful album ‘Ciao Bella’, released in 2010 by Universal Music Australia. It featured a blend of both classic Italian and English songs, including three originals. The album peaked at Number 4 on the ‘Jazz and Blues’ chart in Australia, spending an amazing twenty-seven weeks in the Top Twenty. “I learnt these songs growing up in an Italian family but the versions on the album have been rearranged and are more lush” he says. “Fantastic songs have been written and these are beautiful ones. It doesn’t mean you can’t make them your own with an arrangement. It’s nice to let some of them back into the light sometimes. At the same time, this was about pleasing myself. You have to be happy with songs before you can perform them and give them their own life and say “this is me” …”

Many folks felt ‘Chitarra’ was the standout song from ‘Ciao Bella’. Full of passion and emotion. A touching and beautiful performance from the seasoned showman.

This new 2021 release is a remix of that very song.
