“Che Sarà” is a classic Italian song that achieved international recognition in the early 1970s. The song was written by Franco Migliacci (lyrics) and Jimmy Fontana (music), two key figures in Italian popular songwriting.
The song was presented at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1971 by Italian group Ricchi e Poveri, who finished second place in the competition. Their performance at Sanremo played a crucial role in introducing the song to the Italian and European public, quickly turning it into a radio favorite.
While Jimmy Fontana recorded the original version, it was Ricchi e Poveri who popularized the song through Sanremo, and later José Feliciano brought it to worldwide audiences with his distinctive interpretation, making it especially popular in Spain, Latin America, and the United States.
A notable fact is that “Che Sarà” was recorded in multiple languages, including Italian, Spanish, and English, allowing the song to cross cultural and linguistic boundaries. The Spanish version was particularly successful across Spanish-speaking countries, where it became a romantic standard.
Over the years, the song has been performed by many artists, including Ricchi e Poveri, Jimmy Fontana, José Feliciano, and Nicola Di Bari, solidifying its reputation as a timeless classic in international melodic music.
Thanks to its nostalgic melody and elegant harmonic progression, “Che Sarà” lends itself naturally to instrumental arrangements, especially in intimate formats such as Piano Bar, where emotion and melody take center stage.
The version featured on this website is a Piano Bar interpretation by Sergio Mella, ideal for elegant settings, relaxed listening, and sophisticated instrumental music, highlighting the song’s melancholic and deeply emotional character.
