"Sleeping" song by Federico Occhioni wakes up Sardegna

no 1 on the excite MP3 search engine for the word "sardegna"

There was a lot of movement on barganews last month. By a lot I mean a huge amount of data, more than 25 GB during the month of March. This increase in traffic has in part been due to all the interest in the barganews bloggers who are now filling up the front page with their daily stories and images but when I checked on the servers just who was going where on the site. There were one or two suprises ... not least of which was the interest being shown around the world for a song which has been sitting more or less undiscovered on the site for the past 5 years.

Search engines have started to pick up on it and it was downloaded no fewer than 78 times on just one day last week.



Sardegna Tu by Federico Occhioni has woken up from its long slumber and is now starting to be played across the internet .... and remember, you heard it here first.

Federico was contacted by barganews to see what his reaction was to this flurry of activity after such a long wait .... his reply was:

"dopo il successo di critica, il successo di pubblico: è la migliore consacrazione per un artista come Occhioni. Grazie a tutti quelli che lo hanno sostenuto in questi anni."
