"Calabria" is a song by Danish DJ / producer Rune Reilly Kölsch. It was originally released in 2003 by Credence, a sublabel of Parlophone Records. Calabria is the name of a region in southern Italy. == Background and recording == The track was originally conceived as an instrumental, but in spite of being licensed to several other labels outside Denmark, it received more airplay after DJ group Nari & Milani used the instrumental to create a mash-up with Alex Gaudino and Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown", matching Rune's instrumental to Waters' vocals. It was released as "Destination Calabria" in 2005 by Rise. The year before, Dutch group Drunkenmunky had produced a cover of the instrumental. Two other dance music acts, Dirty Laundry (John Marks & DJ Maurice) and Kaner, had also created their own versions the same year. Rune re-released the track once more in 2007, having remixed it with dancehall beats, and adding vocals by Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad. This reggae fusion version titled "Calabria 2007" has been very successful around the world and gained popularity in the United States in mid-late 2007. It got heavy club play, eventually entering the playlist of major Top-40/Dance radio stations such as Z100 and KTU. It placed at #80 on Z100's top 100 songs of 2007.〔(Z100 - New York's Hit Music Station )〕 This song was actually featured in a Target ad for the 2007-2008 school year, featuring college dorm supplies, and due to the song's prominence in the ad, the song received much exposure. In 2008 the song hit the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number 46, making it one of the highest peaking reggae fusion songs in 2008. There is also another remix featuring Mims〔(YouTube - Calabria 2007 - Enur feat. Natasja & MIMS )〕 and a Dominican rap remix featuring Dominican artist Punto Rojo.〔(YouTube - Calabria - Enur Pto Rojo ft Natasja-q s lo q tu dice by kike )〕 On January 16, 2008 the song reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart. In 2014, Guppy Slim played a set dedicated to Calabria at Casa Del Vibe in Bristol. It was recorded and played on BBC Radio 6 Music at various times following its performance. Later the same year, a remix by Dutch DJ duo Firebeatz was released on October 13, along with a supporting music video. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calabria (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
