(June 23, 2017) "I'm so happy to have you listen to my new single ‘Un’Altra Storia’, with which I will be on stage at the New York Music Festival." From her Facebook page, Rita Manelli, a young singer from Salento, announces to her fans the radio release of her new song. "Un’Altra Storia" (Rosso al Tramonto label) is a song by Sabatino Salvati featuring Nicola Oliva (Laura Pausini guitarist) on acoustic and electric guitars and Marco D'Agostino's mix. The singer is now preparing for a new and prestigious experience: she will present the song in America at the New York Music Festival in New York on September 10. Rita is the first Italian interpreter to have direct access to this event: a few weeks ago, she was selected by Antonio Vandoni, Artistic Director of Radio Italia, during the advanced discography course "Creative Music Art" directed by Elisabetta Macchia. "I'm happy with my path and my goals, but I'm aware - Rita writes on the popular social network - that this is just the beginning of everything! The road is long, but I'm sure I will never tire of walking! " (PO / RED)
