Matteo Bocelli: 'Enamorarse', Viña del Mar y la vida más allá del apellido

In this episode of La Clave Pop, Marysabel Huston talks with Matteo Bocelli, the Italian singer-songwriter who conquered the 2026 Viña del Mar International Song Festival—taking home the Silver and Gold Seagull awards—and who has just released Enamorarse, his first album entirely in Spanish. Matteo talks about how his first visit to Viña del Mar in 2024, alongside his father, Andrea Bocelli, awakened a deep connection with the Latin American audience that led him to create this album. He tells us why he chose "Gracias a la Vida" for his performance at the festival, what it was like working with Leonel García, Jon Batiste, Gianluca Grignani, and Buika, and what the first Spanish song he sang as a child was. We also discuss something rarely heard from an artist with his career: the record deal he rejected because it wouldn't let him sleep peacefully, and what that reveals about his moral compass. Matteo reflects on what it means to grow up with the Bocelli name, his relationship with serenity and happiness, and his next steps: a residency in Los Angeles, a tour of Australia, and a summer tour of the United States. An intimate, honest conversation, entirely in Spanish, with one of the most exciting artists of the moment. This episode is for those who love Italian music, romantic pop in Spanish, and conversations that go beyond the music.
