Adamo, who emigrated to Belgium with his parents at the age of three, was raised in Jemappes and later moved to Brussels.
A bright student, Adamo was able to avoid the coal mining industry that lured many Italian immigrants to Belgium and concentrate on his academic and musical studies.
Adamo's 1998 album, Regards, revealed a sociopolitical edge to his music with songs commenting on racism and the civil war in Bosnia.
Part of the secret of Adamo is that he has always managed to appeal to new audiences : in 1993 he got an extreme boost in popularity here in Belgium thanks to a splendid adaptation Arno did of his song "Les filles du bord de mer".
That of a low country where people have sun in their hearts, certainly if they were born somewhere in Sicily as Adamo and his hero Julien, and have come to search their fortune in a land of coal and mist.
SalvatoreAdamo was born in Sicily on November 1st 1943, in the small commune of Comiso.
Salvatore's parents did not want their son to become a miner and made great sacrifices to give him a good education, in a strict Catholic school run by the Frères des Ecoles Chrétiennes.
After four singles that went unnoticed, Salvatore had his first hit in 63 with "Sans toi mamie", a very classical romantic number, completely divorced from the yéyé (a fusion of American rock and roll and French variety) trend that was all the rage at the time.
