Pino D’angio: A social media resurgence unveils the maestro's timeless groove. 

Alfie Hallsworth - 2nd year Spanish & Italian

In the constantly evolving landscape of the music industry, the digital age has proven to be a double-edged sword for many artists. While some have struggled to adapt, others, like Italian musician Pino D’Angio, have experienced a remarkable resurgence thanks to the power of social media. 

D’Angio, whose infectious tunes dominated the Italian disco era, is now reclaiming his place in the spotlight thanks to the power of social media. Pino first rose to prominence in the 1970’s and 80’s with chart topping tunes such as ‘Ma quale idea’ and ‘Una notte Maledetta’ catapulting him to international fame. However as musical tastes shifted, D’Angio's popularity waned, meaning he slipped, regretfully, out of the spotlight.
