Always beautiful Amira

[@joshmurrayreactions]

Yes!

[@jorgechavesfilho]

Great reaction! At the age of 12, Amira brings a beautiful 120-year-old Italian song to life. It's always a privilege to hear the wonderful natural voice of Amira, who has never used any auto-tuning or pitch correction software. The lyrics of this song basically say: "What a beautiful thing is a sunny day! The air is serene after a storm. But another sun, even more beauteous, oh my sweetheart, my own sun, shines from your face!".

How cool. Thanks for the translation!

Her voice is incomparible!

[@waynemeredith4287]

There’s another aspect to all this that sometimes is forgotten. Amira’s parents who all of sudden one day had a daughter that was in great demand all over the world. Like this concert, probably on a weekend and Amira had to be in school on Monday! There was this world famous performer and a daughter whom they had to protect and make sure she had some normal childhood. Sleep overs, game practice and of course education. Great job. Well done and of course “Bravo”.

Excellent

[@andrewclayton4181]

Ah. I've not watched this one for several months. Amira was 12, and had just sung a solo O mio babbino caro before Patrizio joined her for the duet. ( Pat ritzio Bu annie is sort of how it's pronounced.) He is from Naples, and seems happy with Amira's Italian. Perhaps he helped her with it during rehearsals. Later in the show she sang another solo. ( Nella Fantasia) There is a thoughtful looking gent about half way through, that is actually Amira's manager, Mike Fuller. This link is a short film of backstage preparations for this show. It's entertaining and informative. Make sure subtitles are activated. You'll see both Mike Fuller, and Patrizio at the end. He did another duet with Amira two years later - Amigos para siempre. It's a popular video O sole mio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2jIko2Ci81mf8Usi=RFqMeMk2P4u9Hbu7

For your own enjoyment you might like to watch: BACK STAGE WITH AMIRA CIG 2016, just before this performance. Thank, Josh.

[@joshmurrayreactions]

I will check that out! Thank you for the feedback.

[@andrewclayton4181]

@@joshmurrayreactions I posted a link to it in my comment. Another duet you might like to review was from the same show the following year - Amira and Corlea Botha singing The FlOwer Duet from Delibes Opera Lakme. It's stunning, as so much of Amira's music is.

Its called Italian an opera aria

[@dafyddllewellyn6636]

No, it's NOT an opera aria; it's a popular Neapolitian (i.e. from Naples) song, written in 1898 by Eduardo di Capua (1865-1917) and Alfredo Mazzucchi (1878-1972). Amira was, at 12, a guest performer at the inaugural concert of the "Classics is Groot" concert in Pretoria, South Africa. Her parents had flown down from The Netherlands with her, for this performance. They were singing it in the Neapolitan dialect of Italian.
