 The outdoor show will be broadcast on a deferred basis by Italian television during the Christmas programming, Zucchero added.

 Ballads and dance themes are part of his its latest album, titled "Cuban session", which contains seven hits in his repertoire with new arrangements, and six other songs, including versions and unreleased tracks.
