Biography
Born in the Rome suburb of Cinecittá, to a father who was a construction worker and a mother who was a housewife, Ramazzotti had something of a troubled childhood. He had a strained relationship with his father in particular, and only really started bonding with him when he developed a passion for music that his father shared with him. He started playing guitar at the age of seven and by the time he reached his teenage years he was writing songs with his father, who accompanied him on the piano. Soon, music was all that concerned him, and after failing an entry exam for a musical conservatory, he began turning his dreams of being a pop star into reality.
He began by entering a musical contest called Voci Nuove di Castrocaro in 1981. He performed a song of his own composition called “Rock 80” in front of a judging panel made up of representatives from most major Italian record labels. While he didn’t win the contest he did reach the final and won the respect of several judges including one Baron Lando Lanni, who represented a label called Drogueria di Drugolo, or DDD. He was so impressed with Ramazzotti’s performance that he offered him a record deal as soon as the contest was over, and along with his brother and his mother, Ramazotti moved to Milan, Italy to begin work on his debut album.
Ramazzotti’s career began in earnest in 1984 with the release of his debut album “Cuori agitate”, which right off the bat was a hit, with a number two single on the Italian charts in the form of “Terra Promessa". The album itself hit the top ten of the Italian album charts, but Ramazzotti didn’t hit the big time until his song "Una storia importante" was released as a single. It was a huge hit all over Europe, especially in France where it sold over a million copies. His second album mirrored this success, and was certified Platinum in Sweden and Gold in Germany, but his third album was what broke him worldwide, selling three million copies in total.
Ever since then, Ramazzotti’s had the kind of career that would make any musician envious. He continues to release hit album after hit album and regularly performs to arena and stadium sized crowds from Australia to Chile. Clearly, someone with that range of appeal has to be doing something right whatever language you speak, and for that reason, Eros Ramazzotti comes highly recommended.
Live reviews
Eros Ramazzotti is one of Italy's most globally recognised musicians due to both his success in his homeland but also his unrelenting touring schedule and dedication to reaching his global fans. Having released the majority of his albums in both Italian and Spanish, he has a great following in a number of European countries who flock to see his energetic and interactive live show.
Appearing to huge cheers from the gathered audiences, the singer steps out with confidence with his trusty guitar in hand to begin a show of anthemic latin pop/rock. He has a tight backing band on hand to support him who he clearly has great rapport with as they jam out to huge instrumentals spurred on by applause from the masses. A vocalist also adds a wonderful feminine to certain tracks from albums such as 'Noi' and 'Tutte storie'. He interacts continuously with the audience as due to his schedule, he will often only play one date in certain countries so he understands the dedication that many fans will have made to be there. A true performer and a fantastic patron of Italian rock music.

Su primera vez en El Salvador y fue inolvidable.
La produccion y montaje del concierto de primer nivel, con sonido impecable, luces y graficas que acompañaban a cada cancion.
Los musicos de muy buen nivel se destaca el baterista.
Back Vocals expectaculares y cada una tuvo un momento para mostrar su rango vocal al momento de acompañarlo en dueto.
Y Eros.... canto, coqueteo e interactuo con el publico. Aunque el publico conocia muy poco su material, las canciones de siempre, por las que lo conocimos las cantamos a todo pulmon:
Si bastasen un par de canciones
Por ti me casare
Cosa mas bella
Cosas de la Vida
Fuego en el Fuego
Otra como Tu

We (my wife and two children) attended the show on the last Saturday in Tel-Aviv. It was our 2nd time watching Eros in a show - the 1st one was in Florence this year, and we were concerened that the israeli audience will not participate the show as the amaizing Italian audience. Eros is a great perormer, profetional and so charming that we all enjoyed the songs - old and new ones, as well as the great sound and the lovely musicians and singers. It was one of these nights that we wil never forget.
Thanks to Eros for his efort to satisfy the crowd and hope to have the oppurtunity watching you once again.

Bravo come al solito. Ottima performance. Buona coreografia e fantastico team di accompagnamento. Un bravo a tutti, milanesi, torinesi, americani, emiliani, san marinesi. Bravissimi. La nota vidoegafica contro l'inquinamento dell'ambiente è eccellente. Va a anti cosí. CONGRATULAZIONI.

Voor mij was dit het beste concert van de 6 concerten die ik al gezien heb van Eros. Hij leek heel ontspannen. Veel up-tempo nummers. Hoewel Palalottomatica in Rome niet volledig uitverkocht was zat de sfeer er toch goed in.
Grazie Eros !

Eros Ramazzotti ist ein traumhaft begnadeter Sänger. Wir haben sein Konzert in Lissabon im Februar 2023 besucht und vor einigen Jahren in Opatija... Musik, die unter die Haut geht und von der man nicht genug bekommen kann!!!

IT WAS CANCELED!!! Freaking coronavirus has people in panic and all the events are being canceled. This is the second time Eros Ramazzotti's concert has canceled, I guess it is not my time to see him.
