LA Hosts Rare Club Show for Italian Superstar Jovanotti

“...(JOVANOTTI) rocks the stage like a lanky, garrulous rap star, but (he) sees his own music as a blend and a refraction of all of his favorite artists, from Run- DMC to Stevie Wonder to Chico Buarque.”

Village Voice LA’s renowned Viper Room will be the setting for an exclusive musical experience with one of Italy’s favorite stadium headliners, Lorenzo JOVANOTTI Cherubini, in an intimate performance that Time Out New York compares to “seeing Bruce Springsteen in a cabaret.”

Unlike Jovanotti’s upcoming sets at Santa Monica Pier (July 22), Stern Grove (July 25) and Central Park SummerStage (July 31), his appearance at the Viper Room will be a unique extended jam session sure to be highlighted by special guest performances and celebrity sightings.

The Roman-born mega-star will be quite at home in Hollywood— his most recent hit single was the title track of Gabriele Muccino’s (The Pursuit of Happyness, Seven Pounds) latest film “Baciami Ancora” and was the top-selling track on iTunes Italy for the first half of this year.

Seven superb supporting players from Italy, America and Brazil -- including a percussionist who recently made his screen debut in Get Him To The Greek — plus Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux join Jovanotti for a not- to-be-missed evening with this world-class musical entertainer and international pop culture connoisseur.
