He released his first albums under the Jovanotti byname to later switch into his real name (Lorenzo), as of the mid-nineties.
Most of his output is hip-hop influenced, although not most of his work should be viewed as hip hop music per se. Many of his songs are not hip hop related and may probably be best viewed as part of the earlier Italian cantautore tradition. Some of his earlier work is also closer to keyboard-heavy 1980s pop. Most of his songs are sung in the Italian language; he also released a Spanish-language greatest hits album. His live album includes a short version of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight". Jovanotti appears on several international compilations, most notably Red Hot + Rhapsody, a 1998 tribute to George Gershwin, on which he performed "I Got Rhythm". Jovanotti has also appeared in one Luciano Pavarotti's charity concert in 1996.
His CD, Buon Sangue, includes influences from both rock and old school hip hop. It is one of his most innovative works to date. Edoardo Bennato collaborated on one track, while bass player Saturnino co-wrote two of the songs.
One of his most recent CDs, "Ora", breaks new ground with a new style of production.

Jovanotti Lyrics

Dabadabadance,
Dabadabadance...
The lyrics "Dabadabadance" repeated multiple times in Jovanotti's song "Dabadabadance" can be interpreted as an invitation to dance. The infectious beat and catchy rhythm of the song encourages listeners to let go and move their bodies. It's a call to let loose and have fun, forgetting about the world's problems and immersing oneself in the joy of dancing.
Furthermore, the repetition of the phrase emphasizes its importance in the song, as if it's a mantra that the listener should take heed of. It's a reminder that, no matter what's going on in your life, dancing is a way to escape and enjoy the present moment. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, highlighting the transformative power of dance and how it can bring people together in a moment of pure happiness.
