Let my classical guitar instrumental version of Alle Porte del Sole to brighten your day!

Alle Porte del Sole was hugely popular in Italy, originally sung by Gigliola Cinquetti back in 1974. The song was translated to Finnish language and Katri Helena released it with a name Vasten auringon siltaa the year after, 1975. The song became one of her biggest hits and I remember my aunt loving the song so much, so she listened to it over and over again when I was a child. 

The song is like a bridge between my two home countries, Italy and Finland, and it also connects my childhood with the present time.

I hope my music will have a similar impact to you, so it connects you with something familiar and enjoyable, and makes you feel good. 

I'd love to see your feedback on the song, much appreciated!

Have a wonderful day and take care!
