Gigi d’Alessio and Claudio Baglioni perform a duet as part of Baglioni’s world tour, “Un solo mondo”, which started on March 6th in Atlantic City. The Italian singer’s tour is already sold out, but if you’re lucky enough to have tickets, you’ll catch some great live performances from this Italian poet, including his classic “Questo piccolo grande amore”. Baglioni’s next performances in March are in Montreal and Toronto.

After the jump, you’ll find the Baglioni-Alessio duet live performance on Italian television, called “Avrai”. It’s a song dedicated to Baglioni’s son, and is one of the many songs that has had worldwide success. Baglioni is an Italian singer-songwriter who has consistently produced great melodies throughout his musical career. He is touring with a team of multi-instrumentalists, and the song “Avrai” is one of the feature songs of the “One World” tour. See the duet in the video after the jump.

Claudio Baglioni is starting his 2010 One World Tour on March 6 in the US, and Italians get to hear his new single “Un po’ d’aiuto”, or “A little help”, on the radio. The song is part of a successful enterprise for Baglioni with his QPGA project. The Italian singer-songwriter has compiled a book, film, concert and double CD in one package.

“Un po’ d’aiuto” is one of the 52 songs the Italian crooner has included on his musical project which has a central theme of first, and then lost, love. The song is the second single from QPGA, and has been made with the collaboration of up to 70 artists. It’s a rock ballad, in similar style to Baglioni’s famous “Questo piccolo grande amore”.

The One World Tour starts in the US and Canada, before moving to Verona, Italy in April and then on to the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Spain, before concluding in the UK at the Royal Albert Hall in May. After the jump you’ll find a video of “Un po’ d’aiuto” and Baglioni’s classic “Questo piccolo grande amore” from the 1985 Sanremo festival; which we first posted as a live version for one of our Italian love songs with a short translation.

The biggest names in Italian music will appear onstage tomorrow evening for a concert in aid of the victims of the Abruzzo earthquake. All proceeds from the concert to be held in Rome will go to the Aquila University, while on Sunday Laura Pausini will lead a concert to be held at the San Siro Milan stadium with the same aim.

On the stage will be singers and musicians such as Pino Daniele, Gigi D’Alessio, Gianni Morandi, Negramaro, Mario Biondi, Umberto Tozzi, Claudio Baglioni and many, many others, with Jovanotti making a video appearance from New York.

Personalities from the world of classical music will also be present, including Ennio Morricone in what we imagine would be a very moving tribute to the people of Abruzzo who died, and their families. Many of the artists are have composed, or are singing new songs, such as Pino Daniele with “Io per lei” or Lucio Dalla with “Caruso”.

This is gold: a great Italian entertainer in the days when you didn’t need an invitation to jump the stage and kiss the singer. The crowd nearly puts in a better performance than Claudio Baglioni with this 1972 “Questo piccolo grande amore” (This little great love). Read below for the lyrics in English: a sad song.

Questo piccolo grande amore
Claudio Baglioni 1972

…e chiare sere d’ estate
il mare i giochi e le fate
e la paura e la voglia
di essere nudi
un bacio a labbra salate
il fuoco quattro risate
e far l’ amore giù al faro…
ti amo davvero ti amo lo giuro…ti amo ti amo
davvero!
