Titolo: Italian Music

I have been downloading Italian music from the Internet for my niece
who is studying Italian. So far, I have only neapolitan music and
"canzoni montanare". I was wondering if any of you Italians could post
some links to music sites from which I might download, preferably in
mp3 format,  music typical of your regions, whether in dialect or
Italian, or music which is popular throughout Italy, and not regional
or dialectal?
I recently came across a site which has six albums by Consiglia
Licciardi available for download. I like her rendition of "Carmela" by
Giambattista de Curtis.

 or dialectal?
What kind of music? Anyway, in dialect, too, or only in Italian?

It makes no difference whether it is In dialect or in Italian. Most of
the "canzoni montanare" I have are choral music or songs of the Alpini
in the Veneto dialect. I suppose some, if not most, of the "real"
music of a region is going to be in dialect, just like the literature
of a region doesn't avoid the dialect. I learned some songs in dialect
from friends, when I was in the North, which will definitely not be
found on the Internet. Is there a Neapolitan song which is not in the
Neapolitan dialect? I guess what I am looking for is traditional or
folk music from the various regions, not "pop" music.
I like to download the lyrics to songs also, whether in dialect or
Italian.
I have found some interesting songs on the web sites of various
choirs.
I have found some interesting songs from the northeast here:

You should definetely listen to some songs by Riccardo Marasco, a
florentine folk music singer (I'd say, the foremost one).
Songs are mostly written in "vernacolo" (florentine dialect), but still
quite comprehensible (however, it depends on the song).
Here you can find some "taste" of his songs:

"Vernacolo"? And all this time I thought that the Florentines only
spoke perfect Italian!
Marasco sounds good, but unfortunately there are only samples of files
on that web site. It's like having to make do with just a sip of wine,
when a full glass is what you crave.  :>)
I will keep him in mind, though.

 who is studying Italian.
What about Gemboy? :P
Oh, and there's Radio Sboro, too.
Wait, how old is she?
Anyway, tell your niece to go here "
www.105.net
" to listen to Radio 105. 
"Lo Zoo di 105" è molto istruttivo. ;)

The ways of God are many... :-) (I think Marasco would be flattered to teach
your american niece the
florentine dialect, though, who knows :-)

Unfortunately that site doesn't have complete songs for listening or
download, but I did find this stie which has several complete
downloadable files.

She can hear that "roba americaneggiante" on the radio stations here.
Joe from Massachusetts

 or dialectal?
I wouldn't want your niece to believe we listen to that sort of thing.
Someone may, but I never have. 
A singer who sings in the Como dialect is Davide Van De Sfroos (the
surname, which is supposed to sound exotic, means more or less "(they) go
to look for smuggled goods"). Not typical songs, I think.

I have heard good things about him. I also heard he's not even a

Not with Italian speakers. You have to listen to the Zoo. You, not your
niece. :)
Sebastiano

 Anyway, I have some new songs... :)
Non sento niente.

You said you had some new music. It wouldn't happen to be some more of
the music of that masnada di somari magnagati, would it? If so, I
would be interested, but be sure to send it in a plain brown wrapper.
I wouldn't want my niece to know what was in the package. :>)

I wish more people would post some links to more Italian music. I am
reminded of the time in Vicenza when I was browsing through the
records in a music store, and came upon a recording which had been
written (in dialect) by a guy from Vicenza, and had been entered in a
music festival in Venice. It was a sad song about a guy who missed his
home town. Of course, the song didn't win any prizes. I picked the
record up and asked the girl behind the counter if she knew anything
about the record. She said "Oh, no, you don't want to buy that
record - it's....
it's..... ". I don't remember exactly what she said, but I got the
message that she would be embarrassed by the record. In a way, she was
right - the record was really one of the worst I have ever heard, but
after listening to it a few times, I could tell the guy really missed
his home town - "Go ritrovaaaaa, Vicenza miiiiiia....Lontan me
mooooro, di nostalgiiiiiiiia e di pasioooon...." I still have the
record, probably one of only a few dozen copies that were ever sold,
and probably no one in Vicenza remembers it, but it is a good
souvenir, and it reminds me of the town where I spent so much time.
Maybe people are reluctant to show off their local music, like the
girl in the record store was.
Joe from Massachusetts

 "Discreet", I think.
Yes, sorry.
Sebastiano

 girl in the record store was.
I ragazzi non ascoltano musica regionale. Si ascolta musica internazionale,
successi italiani, rock, pop, ecc, ma non musica regionale. Almeno non
dalle mie parti. Tranne le cavolate, come possono essere i Gemboy e
similari.
Adesso vanno molto - si sentono spesso in radio - alcune canzoni italiane. 
Mentre tutto scorre		-	Negroamaro
I Bambini fanno Oh		-	Povia
Vorrei Cantare Come Biagio	-	Simone Cristicchi
Rotolando Verso Sud		-	Negrita
Tanto				-	Lorenzo Cherubini (Jovanotti)
Io non sono un intenditore di musica e, in generale, mi piace poco la
musica italiana. Di queste canzoni che ho citato, e che sento spesso su
105, mi piacciono alcuni pezzetti. Mi piace "Rotolando Verso Sud" dei
Negrita, mi piace il ritornello della canzone di Negroamaro (che manco so
chi siano, o chi sia, boh). "I bambini fanno oh" mi lascia indifferente,
qualche passaggio carino, ma niente di più. La canzone di Jovanotti non mi
piace molto, ma è orecchiabile. "Vorrei Cantare come Biagio" è
orecchiabile, ma non è che mi piaccia tanto.
