Biografía
Acclaimed by Ray Charles himself as one of the greatest blues musicians he ever worked with, the man born Adelmo Fornaciari began playing in a long succession of different bands at the age of 15. However, this is no Lorde-style early success story, as it took him eleven years before one of those bands saw a hint of success. In 1981, his group Taxi won the Castrocara music festival, but after the band showed signs of slipping back under the radar in 82 and 83, Zucccerro decided to take a chance and release his debut solo album “Un Po' Di Zuccchero” in the latter year. It was the move that saved his career, as in 1985, he finally scored a hit with the song “Danne”, and he spent the rest of the 80's becoming one of the biggest solo artists in Italy. In 1988, he solidified that reputation with the album “Blue's”, which became the biggest selling album by an Italian artist of all time, and made Zucchero a household name in Italy and most of Europe.
By the 1990s, Zucchero's success had made him a name all the world, and to capitalise on that he released an album consisting of a number of his hits sung in English. The album, that also saw the singer work with artists like Paul Young and Eric Clapton, was yet another hit and secured Zucchero's position as the collaborator of choice for many a rock and roll legend. Over the next decade the list of his collaborator's would prove to be astonishing, with names like Brian May, Sting, Luciano Pavarotti and Elton John popping up to name but a few. Ever since then, Zucchero has remained a genuine superstar, a once in a generation, stadium-slaying sensation who's only getting better four decades after his debut. For that, he comes highly recommended.

There is always something very intriguing about hearing music that you’re very used to hearing such a pop rock, which dominates a lot of the airwaves or pop, with an ‘edge’ kind of thing. Now imagine hearing it in Italian. Enter Adelmo Fornaciari, better known as his stage name Zucchero (Yep. That’s the Italian word for suagar). His sound is an original sort of concoction between gospel, soul and rock music. His career spans over four decades, and get this! This guy’s backing band was none other than The Randy Jackson Band back in the 80s. Pretty good going hey?! So what’s he like live I wondered? Does he still have it all these years on? There is no doubt that this Italian singer songwriter oozes confidence but he is of course ever so talented. “Senza una donna” kicks off this evening. The crowd is buzzing, drinking and ready for dancing. As soon as everything kicks in with this song the lights are flashing the audience is jumping and Zucchero is absolutely owning it.

Zucchero’s career spans an incredible five decades, as he has continued to be one of the biggest names in Italian music since he started out in the 70s. Now, Zucchero is nothing short of an Italian legend. The man has been quoted as one of the greatest ever blues musicians of all time. From such great tracks such as ‘Baila’ to ‘Diamante’, Zucchero keeps on top by blending a mix of genres, from smooth blues to pop to an almost gospel like sound. All of his songs have one thing in common, however: his smooth, sultry and beautiful vocals. Zucchero can hold a whole range of tones, from low notes to those powerful all belters, and he is incredibly easy to listen to. His backing band were just as brilliant, accompanying his never faltering vocals with perfect ease. He lulled the audience into a brilliant sense of serenity with his ballads but also managed to get us excited and energised with his more up beat classics. His range was fantastic and his concert was a must see.

Intim club-show in Malmö. Mostly songs from new album plus some older hits. A little bit mechanical performance, which is understandable after over a year on the road and such a small audience.
Never the less, we enjoyed it very much together with the rest of the supporting audience.
It became very hot in the club after a while since the airconditioning was off.

Excellent show, full of energy and rythm! We've truly enjoyed the great classics as well as the new songs!
The staff at the RAH was very friendly and helpful, and we loved our seats in the small box!
