Louis Prima was one of many decendents of people who immigrated from Sicily to New Orleans. The New Orleans Italian community is largely Sicialian? Why.

1) They left Sicily to flee political and economic turmoil.
2) Sicilians were much more malaria resistant than other Europeans and esily found jobs on the docks and in construction near the water

Add to that one of the unsung heroes of NO R’n’B and R’n’R, Cosimo Matassa…

And most importantly, they invented the Muffaletta!

Being a spaghetti-guy, i'm really curious which italian songs, bands, artists and music are known and appreciated out of my country. (Please DON'T say "maneskin").

When I was a kid (mid 70s), my father had this cassette tape of Connie Francis sang Italian songs. I often heard the songs.. and so I love them. Songs I know are (not many) Comme bella stacione, Arriverdeci Roma, Volare, Ciao Ciao Bambino.
I found and bought a CD of the album many years later. Every time I listen to the album, it it feels like my late father is right there with me.

Italian singer... Gazebo of course.
