About Rocco Granata

Rocco Granata, born in the picturesque region of Calabria, Italy, is an Italian-Belgian singer, songwriter, and accordionist who has left an indelible mark on the music world. Born in 1938, Granata's journey began when his family immigrated to Belgium at the age of ten, where his father worked as a coal miner. Instead of following in his father's footsteps, Granata pursued his passion for music, becoming a renowned accordionist and touring Belgium with his band, 'The International Quintet.'

Granata's career skyrocketed with the release of his iconic song "Marina" in 1959, which became an international hit and his best-known track. Originally released as the B-side of "Manuela," "Marina" quickly outshone its counterpart, reaching the top spot on Hitkrant's List of European number-one hits in 1960. This romantic ballad, sung in Italian, Flemish, and German, has captivated audiences worldwide with its dramatic melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

Throughout his career, Rocco Granata has released numerous albums and singles, showcasing his versatility in genres such as italo dance and schlager. His music, characterized by its emotional depth and memorable tunes, continues to resonate with fans across generations. In 2013, CNR Records released a double CD and DVD titled "The Best of Rocco Granata," celebrating his extensive discography and enduring legacy. Though he decided to stop touring in 2014, Granata's music lives on, inspiring new generations of listeners with its timeless appeal.
