Io canto and Yo canto (English: I Sing) are the ninth studio albums by Italian singer Laura Pausini. The Italian-language edition was released on 10 November 2006 while the Spanish-language edition was released on 14 November 2006 by Warner Music. Yo canto–Io canto is a limited-edition double album featuring both the Italian– and Spanish-language editions. This marks the first instance in Pausini's multilingual music career in which both editions are offered in a single release. Warner Music issued a third edition pressed exclusively for the French market. This pressing of Io canto features the bonus track "Je chante", a partial French adaptation of the Italian "Io canto".[6]
The album consists entirely of covers. Its repertoire spans three decades of Italian pop music history. Pausini pays homage to fellow Italian singer–songwriters whose lyrical work has influenced her artistic sensibility throughout the years.[7] In the album's liner notes Pausini reveals:

The song "Come il sole all'improvviso" and its Spanish counterpart version have lyrics in French language.

Tour
Pausini chose not to do a tour to promote Io canto. Instead, she opted for a single concert in Milan, in the Stadio San Siro, making history as the first female artist to play a gig in this venue. The sold-out concert happened on 2 June 2007. Approximately 70,000 fans attended in the incessant rain. Tiziano Ferro appeared for a duet. The two and a half-hour concert has been released on DVD in December 2007.[37]
