In an exclusive interview, AndreaBocelli, his son and daughter reveal to USA TODAY's ralphieaversa their new holiday album, 'A Family Christmas.'
says the idea for a family album came from their label Decca Records after seeing audiences react when Virginia and Matteo joined their father on stage. Bocelli has sung with both of them live before. Bocelli's own father, Alessandro, often told him, “You must do two things: to sing in America and to sing on television,” he recalls of the encouragement he received early in his career. “For me, it’s very nice to have the possibility to go around the world with all of my family.
“Me and Matteo did not choose a single song,” Virginia jokes, before adding that her brother picked"Happy Xmas " for the album. Other tracks include"Joy to the World,""I'll Be Home for Christmas" and"Feliz Navidad." “I was pretty excited, not just for Daddy but especially for Matteo, because I’ve never really done anything musically with him.”
“On Christmas Day, we usually have like all Italians do, pasta … a very heavy meal,” she says. “After dinner, we go to the living room and start opening the presents.”
