Zucchero is certainly Italy’s best-known rock export, and very popular in France. He sings in Italian, English, French. His sound is mostly soul/bluesy, but his voice is like honey. If I were in Paris on February 27, I would RUN, not walk, to see him perform. If you can’t make it, he did come out with an album in the last few years of duets with famous musicians from around the world, including Sting and Cheryl Crow.
