He is probably best known internationally for the song Senza Una Donna, which is a duet with Paul Young and hit number 4 in the latter's native United Kingdom, where Zucchero has generally made little commercial impact, in 1991. He commenced his musical career in 1970 with his first single in 1976, and his first album in 1983. His music, in Italian, Spanish and in English, is largely inspired by gospel, blues and rock music, and alternates between syrupy ballads and more rhythmic boogie-like pieces. He sang several duets, in public or on disc, with Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Paul Young, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Luciano Pavarotti, Tom Jones, and Johnny Hallyday.
European hit singles include Il Volo (English version: My love), Cosi Celeste, Baila (sexy thing), Diamante (featuring soul singer Randy Crawford), and Wonderful World (with Eric Clapton). Zucchero's 2004 album ZU & Co features duets with Miles Davis, Paul Young, Sheryl Crow, The Cranberries's Dolores O'Riordan, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Maná, Brian May, and Sting. It has sold millions of copies throughout Europe and the world and entered the Billboard 200 charts after its release in the U.S. in the summer of 2005.
In July 2005, Zucchero took part in the Live 8 concerts in both Rome and Paris. In July 2006 Zucchero's new single 'Bacco Perbacco' was released. A new studio album, produced by Don Was will be released in September.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En esta noche de tequila boom, boom
Eres tan sexy, eres sexy thing
Mis ojos te persiguen solo a ti
Y debe haber un caos dentro de ti
Para que brotes de una estrella que baila
Infierno y paraiso dentro de ti
Baby the night is on fire
Seamos fuego en el cielo
Llamas en lo obscuro, what you say
Baila, baila morena
Bajo de esta luna llena
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
Ven chica, ven loca, dame tu boca
En esta noche cualquier cosa te toca
Mi corazon se revienta y no aguanto
Morena rebuena te quiero yo tanto
Baby, the night is on fire
Seamos fuego en el cielo
Escandalo en lo obscuro, what you say
Baila, baila morena
Bajo de esta luna llena
Under the moonlight
Y baila, under the moonlight
Bajo de esta luna llena
Baila morena
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me hurtin' so bad, so bad
You let me so, so bad
What you say
Baila, baila morena
Bajo de esta luna llena
Under the moonlight (under the moonlight)
Y baila (baila), under the moonlight
Bajo de esta luna llena (baila morena)
Baila morena (come on baby, come on)
Bajo de esta luna llena
Bajo de esta luna llena
Bajo de esta luna llena
Under the moonlight
The lyrics of Zucchero's song "Baila Morena" are about the intense attraction that the artist feels towards a woman, who has captured his attention and imagination from the moment he saw her. He believes in miracles, and the encounter with this woman seems to him like a transcendental event that has transformed his world. He describes her as a "sexy thing" and confesses that his eyes follow her everywhere she goes.
The song reflects a chaotic and contradictory nature, as the woman seems to be a combination of heaven and hell, light and darkness. She is like a star that dances and shines, but there is also an inferno and a paradise inside her, which is what makes her so fascinating and irresistible. The lyrics suggest that the night is full of possibilities, and that they should embrace the passion and excitement that they feel, becoming fire in the sky, and creating scandal in the darkness.
"Baila Morena" is a sensual and upbeat song that celebrates the power of love, sexuality, and spontaneity. It is an invitation to let go of inhibitions, surrender to the primal instincts, and enjoy the moment, under the magic of the moonlight. The lyrics are in Spanish and contain some words in English. The song has a catchy melody and features a combination of Latin pop and rock genres, with a mix of electronic sounds and acoustic instruments.
