Marco Carta

The Profile

Marco Carta is an Italian pop singer from Cagliari. He won Amici di Maria De Filippi (2008) and the Sanremo Music Festival 2009 with the song “La forza mia”; he debuted with the album “Ti rincontrerò.”

According to DeBaser reviews, a 06.09.09 Cagliari concert drew thousands and ran about 2.5 hours, with numerous covers (e.g., Battisti, Battiato, Mia Martini) and ovations for the Sanremo-winning “La forza mia.” Reviews describe the debut album “Ti rincontrerò” as containing several covers, including “E tu” (Baglioni), “Ti pretendo” (Raf), “La donna cannone” (De Gregori), “Vita” (Dalla/Morandi, with Luca Jurman), and “Mi ritorni in mente.” One review recounts a failed attempt to display a charity banner during the Cagliari show. Publicly verifiable: winner of Amici 2008; winner of Sanremo 2009 with “La forza mia.”

Four DeBaser reviews paint Marco Carta as a mainstream pop figure launched by TV, with a crowd-pleasing live show and an early discography heavy on covers. Sanremo 2009 hit “La forza mia” draws ovations, but critics slam the songwriting and production. A Cagliari 2009 concert is described in detail, including a failed attempt to spotlight a charity banner. Overall tone: skeptical-to-hostile.
