Who is Madame, the rapper for the first time on the Sanremo stage

The popular consecration, for Madame, a young rapper of Vicenza origin, arrived by chance. Cristiano Ronaldo, the social man par excellence, the most followed on the world scene, used a song from the nineteen year old as the soundtrack of one of his Instagram Stories. It was summer, and Madame sang Sciccherie, wrapped in loose clothing.

Leopard fur, short, tousled hair. The dark glasses and heavy lipstick. Francesca Galeano, nineteen years old in January, then clarified what would be the fulcrum of her poetics, nemesis of Chadia Rodriguez, Beba, high-heeled rappers, “with Gucci thong and shoes”.

Madame, to whom the stage name was assigned by chance, when with friends she asked a software what she would have called if she had been a drag queen, she said for the first time with Sciccherie. Then, he reiterated it with 17, single released in June 2019.

The piece, in the summer prelude two years ago, sounded like a hymn: an invitation to free oneself from social, aesthetic, mental superstructures. “This Italy sees girls as inflatable dolls,” sang Madame, then seventeen, painting the programmatic manifesto of her own music in words. Which is substance and not form. Which is awareness and not fear, the subtle feeling of having to respond and correspond to certain canons.

The girl, young, very young, stood up. And, with her back covered by Sugar, by a manager, Paola Zukar, who took care of Fabri Fibra among others, spoke about herself. And the “self” has decided to cultivate, even on the stage of Sanremo, where – a rookie – he presents Voice, which will later be featured on his debut album, Madame, anticipated by the individual My friend.
