Thanks to the great success of the song, at 23 years old Alfa debuts at the Sanremo Festival, on the occasion of the 74th edition of the event. The singer will be competing with the song Go. “It’s a straight drum song, with a bit of a folk sound which is the journey we’re on. It talks about the life choice of many kids, including me, to go, even if we don’t know where.”
What is certain is that he is a Sanremo from Amadeus, a dream that becomes reality. “As a kid I watched Sanremo with my grandparents. My grandmother didn’t listen to songs much but she looked at people’s outfits, she judged them and this always made me laugh a lot. If they had told me that I would end up in Sanremo one day I wouldn’t have believed it, rightly so, who can expect it. I have always dreamed without setting too many expectations.”
