Amici 22: Angelina Mango, daughter of Mango and Laura Valente, joins the cast. And the controversy is served

The indiscretion has been circulating on the Net in recent days and has been confirmed by the airing of the episode broadcast on Canale 5 on Sunday 20 November: Angelina Mango, daughter of Mango, the famous singer-songwriter who died prematurely in 2014, and of Laura Valente, former voice of Matia Bazar, is officially in the cast of Friends. The girl – who is 21 years old, but also a single product, among others, by Tiziano Ferro and proposed on the stage of the May Day Concert – she managed to enter the school after winning the challenge against the eighteen-year-old Ascanio, conquering the coveted shirt that represents the pass to cross the threshold of the program and attracting the attention of professors Lorella Cuccarini and Arisa, ready to do anything to have her on their team.

Active in music since childhood, Angelina Mango immediately understood that she wanted to pursue her father’s artistic careerauthor of timeless hits such as Gold And Mediterranean, and his mother, singer-songwriter in Matia Bazar between 1990 and 1998, finding in Friends the right ground on which to test yourself to grow and become an all-round singer. As we know, it is not the first time that the children of art have tried the road of Friends to be able to emerge and be known for who they are – let’s think, for example, of LDA, the son of Gigi D’Alessio who entered the school in 2021 and was eliminated one step away from the evening -, and it is for this reason that Angelina’s application for admission should not be too surprising.

What is certain is that we are so obsessed with so-called preferential access that we forget that, often, children of art have to work twice as hard to emerge precisely because of the name of one’s father and one’s mother. Detaching that invisible thread and proving to be worth something not because of the lineage but because of one’s abilities is a far from simple undertaking, and this is why it is important to try to give these guys a chance, both for Friends as in any other program. In the end, in fact, what counts is the opinion of the public, and there we know that there is no genetics that counts, but only the charisma and the ability to be on stage.
