Colapesce e Dimartino
Singers
Colapesce and Dimartino. Lorenzo and Antonio. Two friends. Two of the most notable singer-songwriters on the scene in the last decade. As both people and as artists, Antonio and Lorenzo’s paths are full of similarities and parallels: they both started out playing in bands and went on to make music as solo artists at the exact same time and place (in Sicily). In 2020, they decided to celebrate their ten-year career milestone with an album of previously unreleased songs, ‘I Mortali’ (42 Records/Number One), entirely co-written by them which became an instant classic with ten songs rooted in the great Italian singer-songwriter tradition and shooting for the starts with a popular, contemporary sound; collaborating with some of the leading producers on the new Italian music scene such as Federico Nardelli and Giordano Colombo, Frenetik & Orange and Mace. The album also features the singles ‘Noia mortale’ and ‘Luna araba’ with Carmen Consoli. Over these past ten years, their paths have crossed many times, both on stage and in the studio. They also joined together to form a tried-and-tested writer’s dream team that has written songs for Emma, Luca Carboni, Malika Ayane, Guè Pequeno, Irene Grandi, Arisa, and Gaia, to name a just a few. More recently, they wrote ‘Lo stretto necessario’ by Levante feat. Carmen Consoli, one of 2019’s summer radio hits, and ‘Bravi a cadere’, the lead single from ‘Persona’, Marracash's best-selling album of the year. Colapesce and Dimartino just one of the big acts competing at the 71st edition of the Sanremo Festival with their song ‘Musica leggerissima’, co-written by the two singer-songwriters and produced by Federico Nardelli and Giordano Colombo.
