What was Al Bano doing with Snoop Dogg at the Olympics?
No, it’s not a photomontage. It’s all true: Al Bano was photographed with Snoop Dogg at the Paris Olympics.
The meeting between the singer of “Felicità” and the American rapper of “Drop It Like It’s Hot” took place yesterday afternoon. Al Bano was in Paris as an ambassador for the Ijf, the international judo federation, while Snoop Dogg – who also carried the Olympic torch through the streets of Paris, lending himself to easy ironies on social media: his passion for marijuana is well known – is in the French capital as a commentator and correspondent for the American networks Nbc and Peacock. The singer from Cellino San Marco recounted the bizarre meeting on social media: “A feast of happiness after the gold medal of the Italian judoka. I think it somehow brightens up the day. From the Olympic Games in Paris to the arena of the International Judo Federation, a big hug and lots of sport, it’s good for your health”. And again: 2 musical opposites, Snoop Dogg and I, we met during the Judo competitions in Paris for the Olympic games and he told me he was born in Corleone… Obviously I don’t believe it and I know why but he knows it too! Anyway, very nice”.
At one point, Al Bano even went up on the tatami to celebrate the victory of the Italian judoka Bellandi in the gold medal: the singer improvised a show to the tune of his “Felicità”.
