Zucchero has sold over 40 million records across the world during his 40 year career including a number 1 hit in Ireland with Senza Una Donna.

Zucchero’s latest single release entitled ‘Guantanamera (Guajira)’ is available now. ‘La Sesión Cubana’, is the new studio album by Zucchero. Recorded in Havana and featuring collaborations from some of Cuba’s most important musicians, ‘La Sesión Cubana’ will be released worldwide on November 20^th 2012.

‘La Sesión Cubana’, produced by Zucchero and Don Was, and mixed by Michael Brauer, combines seven brand new songs with six newly arranged Zucchero hits (‘Baila’, ‘Un Kilo’, ‘Così Celeste’, ‘Cuba Libre’, ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’ and ‘L’Urlo’). The new recordings consist of the first single ‘Guantanamera (Guajira)’, adapted by Zucchero into Italian, original compositions ‘Love Is All Around’ and ‘Sabor a ti’, and covers ‘Never is a moment’, ‘Nena’, ‘Pana’ and ‘Ave Maria no morro’. ‘Nena’ and ‘Pana’ are in Spanish, the second one in duet with the brilliant artist Bebe, and ‘Ave Maria no morro’, sang in Portuguese, is a duet with one of the most prestigious singers of contemporary Brazilian music, Djavan.

Zucchero describes his new studio LP in his own words: “My music, as everybody knows, comes from blues, from soul, from gospel. This project is a trip from New Orleans to Cuba via Mexicali. Latin, Cuban, tex-mex sounds and rhythms melt together dancing. “Hasta l’asta siempre”.”
