THE THRILLING, GOLDEN TENOR OF JONATHAN CILIA FARO RESONATES AS GLOBAL ACCLAIM GROWS FOR HIS ALBUM ‘FROM NOW ON’ NEW SINGLE & VIDEO – “COME UN AMICO AMA” OUT NOW

“Come un Amico Ama,” the new single with its accompanying video, reflects how much continuity means to Jonathan Cilia Faro. “This beautiful song speaks of an unconditional friendship between two people who have shared difficulties, joys, sorrows … true friendship as it was never described before,” Cilia Faro says, noting that “20 years of friendship” gave life to the song, with lyrics by his fellow Sicilians, Francesco and Martina Romeo. In fact, Cilia Faro returned to Sicily – to Ragusa, his birthplace – to film the video for “Come un Amico Ama.” Ragusa commands a hill in the southernmost corner of Sicily, its old town (Ragusa Ibla) retaining the splendor of Baroque architecture and the stillness of the past – the perfect place to illustrate the love the tenor feels for his art, his culture and his native land. Even the video’s director/editor Emiliano Tidona, is a fellow Ragusani.
