His participation in the Sanremo Festival was marked by controversy for kicking floral decorations after the technical problem during the execution of L'isola delle rose – a gesture that earned him the whistles of the Ariston audience and a complaint for damage – now Blanco returns and does so by scoring a sensational shot from an artistic point of view.

The young singer-songwriter from Brescia, anticipates Il Messaggero, in view of the release of the new album is about to publish a duet with Mina. The single, reads the Roman newspaper, should be released on April 14.

That the tiger of Cremona has accepted the collaboration is not surprising. Mina is not new to collaborations of this type, from the historical ones with Battisti and Celentano to the more recent ones by Tiziano Ferro and Manuel Agnelli. Last year he had made it known, through his son Massimiliano Pani, that his favorite song of the Festival was "Brividi" with which Blanco won paired with Mahmood.

To Pani, producer for some time of his mother, Blanco gave the song that Mina liked so much to convince her not only to accept the duet but also to consider including it in her next project, a new album of unreleased songs coming out in the spring.

No indiscretion on the title of the song that would still be in production between Mina's studio in Lugano and the Milanese one of Michele Zocca, aka Michelangelo, Blanco's producer who signed the song with him.
