micheal CASTALDO releases his new album.

Remember the Latin music craze of the 90's led by Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez? Well now, thanks to the worldwide success of performers like Andrea Bocelli and Il Divo, it is time to usher in a new era, one where timeless Italian songs meet pop beats.  
  
The award-winning singer/composer Micheal Castaldo is finally releasing a follow-up CD to his previous release "Villa." "La Dolce Vita 'NAmerica" explores Castaldo's talent and ear for infusing beloved classics with a little bang.  
  
The new CD allows the Italian musician to explore his roots while infusing exotic world pop arrangements and personal renditions of Italian mega hits of the 70's. "La Dolce Vita 'NAmerica" contains popular songs such as Puccini's aria *Turandot* "Nessun Dorma" and Ennio Morriconi's "Nella Fantesia." Castaldo has produced Billboard charting dance records for Grammy award-winning artist Jose Feliciano and Dance Music Diva Martha Wash, as well as music for legendary producer Teo Macero. He has performed at Shea Stadium, Carnegie Hall, and in advertising spots for national companies.  
  
He will be marketing his new CD with live performances at various festivals, pre-game concerts, and local cable TV shows.  
  
"La Dolce Vita" translates into "the sweet life", and with the new sound Micheal Castaldo brings to music, it sure is.
