Italian and Independent

Now that we’ve digested the onslaught of free music out there, some of us are looking for tunes that are completely different. Here are two suggestions: Italian and independent.

Italian

Italian music can be generally classified as light pop. Yes, they’ll occasionally kick it up a notch but dagos never encroach upon hard rock. Unfortunately, Italian rap is terrible. So you’ll have to listen late at night (say, after 9:00), when all the little rappers have gone to bed.

Here are a few tracks:

  • Laura Pausini featuring James Blunt – Primavera in Anticipo 

  • Gianluca Grignani – La mia storia tra le dita

  • Cixi – Non Sono L’ultima 

A good Italian radio station, Italia On Air, can be found at 1.FM.

Independent

Thanks to technology, today’s independent music scene is booming. It only costs $20/month to run a radio station and many focus on independent art. These stations usually play all sorts of genres so there’ll be songs you don’t like. But give one a chance and you’ll find something.

Here’s a sample:
