Next May 22nd the global phenomenonSOOSHI MANGOdrop their new song “Italian Coffee Shop”. But… we askedSOOSHI MANGOa question: “how did you come up with the idea to record this very song? They reply: ””Italian Coffee Shop”is a rare example of how music can travel across cultural and linguistic boundaries, transforming along the way”. The song, originally performed by 3nacria – Sicilian artists deeply linked to the culture of southern Italy – found a second life in a completely organic way in the territories of Southeast Asia, going viral in markets such as China Singapore, Taiwan and Japan. It is precisely in this context thatSOOSHI MANGOstep in. Although known as comedians, they represent one of the most authentic expressions ofItaliannessabroad: an identity built on strong cultural roots, irony, tradition, and collective memory. Discovering the virality of the song,SOOSHI MANGOapproach it not as a simplecoverrecording, but as a natural extension of their storytelling. They see something familiar in“Italian Coffee Shop”: language, aesthetics the imagination of southern Italy. It's the same world they've been telling about for years, just translated into music. Their interpretation therefore arises from a narrative intuition: not to create a “cover”, but to amplify an already existing phenomenon, bringing it into a recognizable cultural universe accessible to an even wider audience
