Andrea Parodi

Andrea Parodi (Porto Torres, July 18, 1955 - Quartu Sant'Elena, October 17, 2006) was an Italian singer from Sardinia. He is known for his vocals with several groups, including Coro degli Angeli from 1978 to 1987, and Tazenda from 1988 to 1997 and again 2005-2006, as well as his solo career.[1][2]

For the Italian singer from Cantù, see Andrea Parodi (Cantù).

His work, including that with Tazenda, blended folk roots of Sardinia with rock and Italian pop, bringing international attention to the island's culture, including Sardu.[3] He worked extensively with various international artists.

He was director for a video about Tazenda and some documentaries on Sardinia, and was producer for other artists, such as fellow Sardinian, Marino de Rosas.

He died from cancer, before fully completing planned work on the album, Rosa Resolza, with Elena Ledda, which was released in 2007.

A museum exhibit was established in 2010.[4] In 2015, the Sardinian town of Nulvi dedicated a new park to him.[5][6] His legacy also endures in the Premio Andrea Parodi, an annual prize for World Music.[7][8]

gollark: I have notes (on academic topics) because I can *generally* remember stuff fine but sometimes forget a thing and require some information on it rapidly || 🐝.
gollark: That is not how "extensively" works.
gollark: (and then just caching that after parsing it on save, obviously)
gollark: Minoteaur will do so by traversing cmark ASTs and applying accursed regexes..
gollark: I think Roam has that too (although probably better, as they actually work on it full time and know what they're doing and made some different architectural decisions).
