Pippo Bravo: Dembow in the Italian Music Scene is now on Matchfy Stars

Standing out in the Italian music scene with a distinctive and innovative style is no easy feat. Yet, Pippo Bravo, the stage name of Gabriele Tucconi, has managed to do just that, becoming one of the pioneers of Dembow in Italy. Born in 1995 and raised in Olbia, Sardinia, Pippo Bravo began his artistic journey at a young age, going through various stages of his career until he discovered his musical identity in a fresh and captivating genre.

Dembow Music landed in Italy

His love for music pushed him to explore new sounds: This continuous search led him to discover Dembow, a sound that originated in Jamaica, later becoming the rhythmic foundation for reggaeton and dancehall, and which in recent years has gained worldwide popularity thanks to artists from the Dominican Republic.

The artists who inspired him to explore the Dembow genre were primarily Treintisiete, La Cabra Iluminaty, and especially El Alfa, with whom he dreams of collaborating.

In 2023, he became one of the first to introduce the sharp rhythms and exotic sounds of Dembow to Italy, paving the way for a new direction in the country’s urban music scene. Tracks like “Que le da”, “La Para”, and “Non mi sveglio (Cannone pronto)” brought him to the attention of a broader audience, thanks to their explicit lyrics, provocative attitude, and the electrifying energy of his performances.

His ability to blend controversial themes and provocation with irresistible beats makes him one of the most promising talents in the Italian music scene.

But how did it all start?

Pippo Bravo’s career began at just 15 years old, performing as an opening act at the early concerts of Machete, one of the most influential rap collectives in Italy. During those years, he honed his skills, experimented with new styles, and shaped a musical identity that set him apart in the Sardinian rap scene.

He has managed to capture a niche audience that extends far beyond the borders of his homeland.

With his irreverent style and bold attitude, he challenges stereotypes and isn’t afraid to tackle controversial topics, defying external judgment and staying true to his authenticity.

Live Performances

This boldness also shines through in his live performances, at events ranging from local festivals like Ateneika in Cagliari and CatteCup in Oristano to renowned concerts like Primo Maggio in Olbia and international events such as the Tattoo Convention.

But it doesn’t stop there: Pippo has had the opportunity to open for artists of the caliber of Mahmood, Emis Killa, Kaos, and Baby K, to name a few.
