I CantaMilano are an Italian folk group performing traditional and popular songs from Milan. The lyrics are sometimes in local dialect and they tend to narrate romantic and fun stories of how simple people used to live in the past. I had the pleasure to record a few songs from them during a brief visit to Milan a few months ago.

My daughter Silvia has turned 7 and we decided to give her a nice present: a trip to Yosemite National Park to celebrate her birthday with her friend Amanda Maruzzi.
Amanda lives in Milan and was visiting California with the family. For the past 6 consecutive years, the two little girls managed to celebrate this special day together. We decided the tradition should live on.
In this video you’ll learn how to sing Happy Birthday (Buon Compleanno) in Italian. Enjoy!
