Franco Battiato (born March 23, 1945) is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, filmmaker and (as Süphan Barzani) painter.
He is considered one of the most original personalities in Italian music from the 1970s to now. Together with Alice, Franco Battiato represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the melody “I treni di Tozeur”. Battiato’s songs are dreamy, controversial collages of images and sensations, very experimental and convoluted, with a quasi-dadaist disrespect for what is passed as ‘artsy’ or ‘trendy’ by the intelligentsia.
His collaborations (from 1994 onward) with the nihilistic-cynical philosopher Manlio Sgalambro have added further depth to his apparently nonsensical lyrics, with references to Emil Cioran, Friedrich Nietzsche and other anarchistic and problematic thinkers. (Wikipedia)
