His live concert DVD "Patrizio-the new voice of romance" was broadcast on the American public television network PBS, which led to his first US tour.
In October 2006, Buanne was invited by Dr. A. Kenneth Ciongoli, the chairman of the National Italian American Foundation, to perform at their annual gala in Washington, D.C., where he met the President of the United States.
Given the significant success that came with both of his first albums, as well as the demand for his music in the United States by his fans,[11] he decided that in order to take his career to the next level, he would need to spend more time in the US not only touring, but also to seek representation from some serious players within the music establishment; and thus, Mondo Buanne Productions was founded; a group of professionals around the world that consult and coordinate Patrizio's concepts, ideas and projects.
Taking this step in his career, brought the recording of Patrizio's third album, under the Warner Music label; collaborating with veteran producers, Humberto Gatica and Brian Rawlings, both of whom oversought many international hits by artists like Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Cher and Enrique Iglesias, and recognized Patrizio's potential and were enthusiastic to be involved in his new release.
[12] In 2011, and exactly on Patrizio's birthday, this eponymous album made it to number 5 on the US Jazz Billboard charts, and was followed by his third concert tour, through Australia, New Zealand, Asia, South Africa and the United States, where he was invited to perform with Larry King and on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
[13] That same year, he released Life is Beautiful - Dankie-Suid Afrika (Universal-EMI Music), an album of South African pop standards, in which he recorded alongside singers such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, duets in Afrikaans;[14] as well as in Italian and English, being awarded by the South African Music Industry with the "SA’s Ambassadors Award".
During his worldwide promotion of Viva la Dolce Vita, his team assured him the interest of more concerts not just through the United States, but also confirming national tours in 2016 and 2017 in Australia,[17] South Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia; presenting Patrizio with an award for worldwide multiplatinum[18] sales and a release of the most popular songs of his first 10 years compiled in one CD, named BRAVO Patrizio (Universal Music).
The songs he recorded for this album are Ti Amo; Su di noi; Bella notte/Non dimenticar; Volare; Ciao bambina; Eh Campari; Il cuore è uno zingaro; Brand New Word For Sexy; Only Your Love Takes Me Home; Angel; A puro dolor (Purest of Pain); Caruso; What Now My Love; Oh, Marie; Angelina/Zooma, Zooma; Esta Cobarida; Tú Y Yo; Te amo (Ti amo); Ángel; El Corazón Es Un Gitano (Il cuore è uno zingaro).
The massive changes in the music industry due the invention of free streaming platforms on the internet have caused that CDs or DVDs are no longer selling as much as they used to and a musician really only lives from touring or other complicated business solutions.
Audiences worldwide – including the Pope, royal families and leading politicians – have enjoyed seeing Patrizio Buanne perform live.
With the elusive combination of his classic good looks, charisma, engaging stage presence and a powerful voice that effortlessly conveys real emotion, it is no wonder Patrizio has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most original, inspiring and unique performers ¬– a true ambassador of Dolce Vita!
PATRIZIO BUANNE has recorded in his career in Neapolitan, English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Afrikaans, Japanese and Mandarin.
