THE CHOICE: Nuestro Tiempo (ft Mario Ermito) is out today, the Italian-Spanish version of the song presented at Sanremo

In an era where cultural boundaries are often erected as impassable walls, an old Italian hit is reborn with an explosive twist, blending languages and identities in a cocktail that shatters the most rigid boundaries.

An Explosive Bridge Between Past and Present

"Nuestro Tiempo" isn't just a reworking of the song "Il Nostro Tempo," released by La Scelta at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2008; it's a musical powerhouse that defies time, bringing themes of identity, diversity, and coexistence straight into 2023. This Italian-Spanish version, released Friday, May 23, on radio and digital platforms, unites the band with actor and singer Mario Ermito in a duet that doesn't just translate words, but ignites them with new energy. "The idea of the Italian-Spanish version had been with us for a while ," the members of La Scelta say, " but we never found the right moment. With Mario, everything came naturally. We chose each other even before we started collaborating."

The Spark of an Unexpected Collaboration

For Mario Ermito, immersed in the Spanish sets, the offer to join the project was like a bolt of lightning, disrupting his routine. Taking part in "Nuestro Tiempo" meant plunging into an immediate bond with La Scelta, where voices blend in a creative chaos that allows no half-measures. "When Mattia and Francesco asked me to sing Nuestro Tiempo, I was incredulous. I accepted immediately, thrilled. During a live rehearsal, the chemistry was immediate: our voices complemented each other." And it doesn't end there: the pair is already working on Ermito's first album, turning this partnership into a true challenge to musical conventions.

A Rebel Anthem Against Borders

Pouring Italian and Spanish into a single boiling pot, “Nuestro Tiempo” becomes a cry of rebellion against cultural barriers, with verses that paint a humanity adrift between roots and migrations. Phrases like **“I feel like a metropolitan African / With new oriental eyes and a heart that will leave / My home is a plateau in the center of Milan / And I feel human”** not only break down walls, but slap those who still see diversity as a threat. The unbridled rhythm and the intertwined voices of Mattia Del Forno and Mario Ermito transform the song into a sound manifesto, where the encounter is not a luxury, but an urgent necessity.
