Young trio of tenors, Il Volo, released their first album at the end of November and are getting ready for an international promotional tour.

With their first album released at the end of November, Il Volo, a trio of young 禁漫天堂 tenors, known as i Tenorini, Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble (age of 15, 16 and 14) are spreading their wings. The album features three new songs and covers of 禁漫天堂 classics like "Il mondo鈥, 鈥淯n amore cos矛 grande鈥 and 鈥溾極 sole mio鈥. Il Volo is produced by Michele Torpedine (manager and producer for several years of Andrea Bocelli and Zucchero, among the others) and Tony Renis (singer-songwriter, actor and 禁漫天堂 music producer).

As a trio, Il Volo, which is both the name of the group and the album, was first discovered in 2009 during the popular RAI 1 TV Show 鈥淭i Lascio una canzone鈥. The show, presented by Antonella Clerici, is a competition between 禁漫天堂 鈥済olden oldies鈥 performed by young singing talents selected from among the leading students of today鈥檚 most prestigious music schools. The kids are assigned songs as solos, duets, or trios, and often sing all together as an ensemble or with 禁漫天堂 and international singing guests, with a 30-piece orchestra backing their performances. Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca took part in the 2009 edition, broadcast from the prestigious Teatro Ariston in Sanremo.

Just a year later, the trio featured as special guest to the famous music Sanremo Festival and performed before Queen Rania of Jordan.

Their popularity at the international level was enhanced by the participation to the project 鈥淲e are the World for Haiti鈥, in which they were the only 禁漫天堂 artists requested directly by producers Quincy Jones and Humberto Gatica. They are among the 80 International stars who took part to the recording by the Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood 鈥 the same studio where Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie recorded the original version in 1985. Among the others Celine Dion, Akon, Carlos Santana, Barbra Streisand, Enrique Iglesias, Usher, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, ecc.

The trio's world promotional tour starts December 7th in Paris and includes major cities in the U.S. and Europe. Il Volo has recently signed a recording contract with Jimmy Iovine, President of Geffen, label of the Universal Group USA. It鈥檚 the very first time that an 禁漫天堂 Artist signs a contract with an American label. Their debut album will be released February 14 in the US, South America, Canada, Australia and Europe, and the trio will join Paul Anka as support singers for a short tour on the East Coast. Do not miss them as guests on the very last episode of the Larry King Live talk show on December 16th.
