Destination Calabria


"Destination Calabria" is a song by Italian producer Alex Gaudino, with vocals by Crystal Waters. It is the first single released from his debut album My Destination.
The track is a mashup, taking the instrumental from Rune's "Calabria" and the vocals from Alex Gaudino's and Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown", both originally released in 2003. It was produced with the help of Maurizio Nari and Ronnie Milani, matching the saxophone riff from "Calabria" to Crystal Waters' voice.
"Destination Calabria" was released on 4 December 2006 as a 12 inch single by Italian label Rise Records, and as a CD single, on 19 March 2007, by British label Data Records. The song was also successful in several other countries, including Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Music video

The music video is directed by Eran "Rani" Creevy, produced by Ben Pugh for Ministry of Sound and choreographed by David Leighton. It features eight female dancers in sexualized green marching band costumes, playing various instruments in a seductive manner, and dancing inside an infinity cove. In some scenes, seemingly hundreds of the dancers are seen at once, but these are simply the original eight replicated many times using digital imagery.
Waters herself does not appear in the video, but members of the marching band lip sync her lyrics at various points.
