Sultry Italian singer and San Remo winner Laura Pausini will be performing live in Malta this summer as part of the 2009 European Tour to promote her latest CD album. Pausini, who is being brought to Malta by NnG Promotions, will be taking the stage at the Luxol Grounds in Pembroke on 21 July.

The singer, who has an enormous fan base in Malta, is expected to sing a selection of her most well-known hits as well as new material.

The top-selling musician began her career in 1993 when she took part in the San Remo Festival with La Solitudine. The ballad won her first prize in the New Artists category. After San Remo, Pausini went on to release her debut, self-titled album, and the disc reached double-platinum sales in Italy, selling over 400,000 copies. The album propelled her onto the European circuit and since then Pausini has become a household name all across Europe, including Malta.

She has released over 10 albums and has performed with internationally acclaimed artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, James Blunt, Andrea Bocelli, Ray Charles and Michael Buble. Phil Collins also wrote a song especially for her, Looking For An Angel.

The concert is being sponsored by Vodafone and General Soft Drinks. Tickets can be purchased online from www.nngpromotions.com or from Agenda Bookshops, Exotique and Vodafone outlets. Ticket prices start from e35.
