Solarino Social Club, Melbourne – Festa Del Papà Dinner Dance – Part 2 of 2

Solarino Social Club, Melbourne – Saturday 09 September 2023 – Festa Del Papà Dinner Dance – Part 2 of 2 – Entertainment by No Limits – A memorable night for me… one to remember… my work in Italian Clubs revolves around the theme of Lingua and Cultura. To promote the very best of Italian heritage in Australia from an educational perspective … Italian Clubs offer wonderful food and entertainment… however many in our Italian Community could benefit to be informed about the Italian language and the presentation of cultural snippets on nights like this one. Thank you Santo Gervasi for your support of this initiative by Tom Padula… yes, that’s me! My sincere wish is that Italian Background Australians and italophiles become truly bilingual and multicultural in our demeanour as Australian Citizens.

Coro All’improvviso – Luna mezz ‘o mare, Kriminal Tango, Buonasera Signorina Buonasera (Italian)

These are the first 6 songs of Coro all’improvviso 12, together in this short film. As you can see, singing at home or with a group of friends can be a challenge, as it is with us. The songs genres vary as does our approach to them. The lyrics which can be accessed online should be the ones from the original singers. Some singers change these in order to put their own versions… this is ok too. Don’t forget that my aim is to encourage people to use these lyrics for linguistic educational purpose. If you come to see me at Insegna.com or send me an email to insegna@ bigpond.com we can have a chat about their use when teaching or learning. Enjoy… Luna mezz ‘o mare, Kriminal Tango, Buonasera Signorina Buonasera (Italian), Buonasera
