Buanne is said to be regarded as one of the world's most exciting baritone crooners and Italy's most accomplished musical export of the last decade. He is fluent in six languages and charismatically good looking. His live shows are renowned for combining his distinctive baritone voice and charming stage persona, with a unique level of audience resonance.
Buanne's visit to South Africa comes on the back of the release of his third album, simply entitled Patrizio, released in South Africa by Warner Music Gallo Africa. The album is being preceded by the release of the stunning first single, the romantic "You're My Everything".
The album was recorded in the US with producer Humberto Gattica, who is well-known for his work with Celine Dion, and his studio association with David Foster, one of the world's most renowned and successful music producers. This is Patrizio's first album with Warner Music Entertainment, numbered amongst the world's "Big Four" record companies. Drawing on his heritage and international pedigree, the new repertoire will cover contemporary interpretations of classics from the Italian and American songbooks, as well as some original compositions.
Buanne's "Live in Concert" performances will include tracks from his great new album: songs as diverse as, "Crazy", "Mambo Italiano", and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman", as well as some of his best-loved previous hits, such as "Il Mondo", "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", and many more.
