Valentino Vivace takes 'Oscillare' to Paris

Valentino Vivace was due to take his third album, 'Oscillare', to Paris on 18 September 2026, onto the stage at La Felicità.¹ RSI announced this the day before, on the Day of Swiss Music.¹

Vivace grew up in Ticino, sings in Italian and draws on 1980s synth-pop and Italo disco.¹ He is also the drummer in the dream pop band Bumblebees and one half of the Lausanne duo Chemical Fame.¹ According to RSI, he has already played in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria, and in recent years also in Hungary and Croatia.¹

He says he came to Italian through singing lessons during his master's in Zurich: 'Quando la maestra mi ha chiesto di portare una canzone in italiano, mi si è aperto un mondo.' (when my teacher asked me to bring a song in Italian, a whole world opened up to me)¹

Next date: on 17 October, Vivace plays Les Docks in Lausanne with his band and a string quartet.¹ A concert of this kind was scheduled at Kaufleuten in Zurich for 8 October.¹
