Francesco (Franco) Battiato is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, filmmaker and, under the pseudonym Süphan Barzani, also a painter. Battiato's songs contain esoteric, philosophical and religious themes.
He is and has been for decades one of the most popular pop
singer-songwriters in Italy. His unique sound, song-crafting and
especially his lyrics, often containing philosophical, religious, and
culturally exotic references, as wells as tackling or painting universal
themes about the human condition - unusual subjects for pop songs -
earned him a unique spot on Italy's music scene, and the nickname of "Il
Maestro".
