Ivana Spagna performs in Catanzaro and critiques music industry trends

Italian singer Ivana Spagna recently performed at the port of Catanzaro to open the fourth edition of the "Sapore di Mare" musical program. The event, which is part of the artist's Summer Tour 2026, featured her international hits such as "Easy Lady" and "Call Me."

In addition to the concert, the event included a "Women for Women" talk focused on the fight against violence against women and breast cancer prevention. The festival lineup continues with performances by Le Vibrazioni, Vasco Rossi, and I Tormentoni.

Separately, Spagna has commented on the current state of the Italian music industry, particularly regarding the Sanremo Music Festival. She suggested that musical quality is no longer the primary deciding factor for success or label interest. Instead, she noted that industry decisions are increasingly driven by social media visibility, follower counts, and an artist's ability to generate digital engagement.
