'''DARI''' is an [[Italy|Italian]] pop punk/electro band best known for the single "Wale (Tanto Wale)".
"dARI" is an [[Italy|Italian]] band best known for their eccentric style and use of bright colors. They came to fame when their music video, Wale (Tanto Wale), became an Italian internet phenomenon.


==The band==
==Band History==
The band started out in [[Aosta]] in 2003 as DaRi, a solo project consisting of only Dario Pirovano, singer and producer. DaRi released 2 albums independently, CoSaVoGlIoDiRe ("WhAtIwAnTtOsAy") in 2004 and misonfattocasa ("ijustsettled") the next year. The two records featured songs that would later be re-recorded for i DARI's breakthrough album.
In 2004, Alberto Oscarelli and Francois Domaine, a.k.a. Dj Alba and Cianci, joined in with DaRi, as DJ/keyboardist and bassist, turning the solo project into a band: i DARI. Eventually Fabio Cuffari, and old friend of DaRi, joined as new bassist, moving Cianci to the position of drummer.
In 2006, "DaRi promo-cd" was recorded, a demo EP with only two songs on it.
By 2006 Dj Alba and Cianci had left the band, replaced by Andrea Cadioli (a.k.a. Cadio) on synth, and William Novelli (a.k.a. Willy) on drums. The following year LoveGain, their first real album as a band, was released independently. It featured a number of older songs re-recorded.
After playing at festivals like Rock Targato Italia, Tavagnasco Rock Festival and Arezzo Wave, they were discovered by producer Massimo Gabutti, from Bliss Corporation (BlissCo.), who was looking for new artists for his new sublabel Fondazione Sonora.


I DARI started recording in November 2007, with producers Domenico Capuano and Federico Maladrino. [[Sottovuoto generazionale]] ("generational subvoid"), their first album, was the result. The album consisted of mainly re-recordings of songs that appeared on all of the previous albums.
dARI entered the studio in November 2007, with producers Domenico Capuano and Federico Maladrino, to record the album Sottovuoto Generazionale (“Generational Subvoid”).
The first single, 'Wale (Tanto Wale)' and its video, appeared on YouTube during March 2008 and also aired on Italian TV station All Music and the Italian MTV. Later during March 2008, the drummer Willy left the band, soon replaced by Daniel Fasano, a.k.a. Fasa.
Their first single, Wale (Tanto Wale) (“Wale (For What it's Worth)”) and its video were released in March 2008, and became immensely popular on Youtube in Italy.


The lyrics of Wale (Tanto Wale) are a play on words, playing off of the fact that 'Vale' is a girl's name, but can also mean “it is worth”. “Vale” is spelled with a W in the title because W and V are pronounced the same in Italian, and as singer Dario Pirovano later revealed, the V key on his laptop was broken.
In 2009, they released a new album, [[Sottovuoto: d-VERSION]], which contained remixes and live versions of old songs, plus a Spanish version of [[Wale (Tanto Wale)]], called Wale (Lo Que Wale).


Later in March 2008, drummer Willy left the band for personal reasons, and he was replaced by Daniel Fasano (Fasa).
