Concert by Brunori Sas in Trento

Brunori Sas (born Dario Brunori) is an Italian singer born 28 September 1977 in Cosenza, Calabria. He reached number one on the FIMI albums chart in 2020 with his fifth album Cip![1]

Biography

[edit]

Born in Cosenza, he spent his childhood in small towns in Calabria: first in Joggi, a hamlet of Santa Caterina Albanese, and then in Guardia Piemontese. He attended the University of Siena where he obtained a degree in economics and commerce. The name Brunori S.A.S. it is a tribute to his parents' construction company.[2]

Vol. 1

[edit]

In June 2009, Brunori released his first album "Vol.1", containing simple and direct acoustic records that placed him among the emerging Italian indie scene,[3] receiving the "Premio Ciampi" as best debut album.[4] Accompanied by Simona Marrazzo (voice and percussions), Dario Della Rossa (piano and keyboards), Mirko Onofrio (sax and winds) and Massimo Palermo (drums), he promoted the album with a tour composed by over 140 concerts that leads him to win the "KeepOn Live's award" as "Best Live Character of the Season".

Vol. 2 – Poveri Cristi and È nata una star?

[edit]

Two years after "Vol. 1" Dario Brunori publishes "Vol. 2 – Poveri Cristi". In this work he aims to describe the life stories of others. The new album has a more articulated structure, thanks to the collaboration with new musicians and the participation of Dente and Dimartino.[5] The song form takes inspiration from the traditional Italian songwriting style. The record marks the entry in the band of the cellist Stefano Amato and inaugurates Picicca Dischi, a new record label that Dario Brunori himself founded with Simona Marrazzo and Matteo Zanobini. In 2012 one of the songs, "Una Domenica Notte", inspires the feature film by Giuseppe Marco Albano in which Dario and the whole band also appear in a cameo.[6]

In the same year, Brunori Sas is the author of the soundtrack of "È nata una star?", a film by Lucio Pellegrini adapted from Nick Hornby's short story Not a star, starring Rocco Papaleo and Luciana Littizzetto. The soundtrack is a collection of unpublished songs and instrumental pieces that became part of a new LP, published by Picicca Dischi in 2013. In this period, Brunori started his career as a producer. His first records with this role are with the artists Maria Antonietta and Dimartino.

The album debuts in fifth position in the FIMI sales chart, in second place on iTunes and in first place on Spotify as the most listened to artist. Brunori Sas participated to the Concerto del Primo Maggio in Rome.[9] In June, Ligabue chooses Brunori Sas as the open act for the concerts in Milan (San Siro Stadium) and Rome (Stadio Olimpico).
