Sanremo 2021: who are the “favorites” Colapesce and Dimartino

The bookmakers give them as favorites but they, Colapesce e Dimartino, continue to keep the low profile they always had before Amadeus chose them among the Big del Sanremo Festival 2021, when they were the outsiders among the outsiders, two Sicilian singer-songwriters with the dream of music who, since last June, decided to join forces by signing their first album of unreleased songs: Mortals. From there the success is extraordinary, to the point of bringing them to the Ariston and seeing them even leaders in preferences with theirs Very light music, the song that the artistic director has optioned for the competition.

Despite the recent collaboration, however, Colapesce and Dimartino made the name themselves, active since 2011, far from the more mainstream channels such as radio and TV and strong in a niche that, over the years, has become more and more affectionate. Colapesce, stage name of Lorenzo Urciullo, his career began with bands like Albanopower and then rode it in 2012 with A wonderful decline, his first album. In 2015 it was the turn of Egomostro, which begins to take on electronic connotations to lead him to increasingly daring projects such as the graphic novel created with Alessandro Baronciani in 2015 and the show dedicated to Vittorio De Seta staged a year later. In 2019 the debut as an actor in the show They are all sick, written by himself together with Riccardo Goretti and Stefano Cenci.

Dimartino, like him, shares a varied and nuanced path. From his debut album, Dear teacher we have lost, in 2010 to the definitive consecration with It would be nice never to break up, but abandoning yourself every now and then is useful, the artist goes further and further by releasing a record inspired by a famous phrase by Cesare Pavese, It takes a country, and a book written together with Fabrizio Cammarata inspired by Chavela Vargas, A rare world (La Nave di Teseo), which is accompanied by the record recorded in Mexico City with Juan Carlos Allende and Miguel Peña, his historic guitarists. On February 25, 2019 it comes out Aphrodite, his fourth studio album. Shortly thereafter his road will meet with that of Colapesce and the rest will be written.
