Rino Gaetano

Rino Gaetano was a famous Italian satirical vocalist/songwriter from the 1970s. When youthful Rino was a decade old, his family members transferred from Crotone (Calabria) to Rome searching for work. The vocalist would spend the others of his lifestyle in the administrative centre town, but his humble Southern root base will be in proof throughout his profession. Certainly, Gaetano was predisposed right away to suppose the role from the outsider, a open public persona that he built, artfully and gleefully, in some iconoclastic information and stage performances. His irreverent and idiosyncratic lyrics and performing style had been at chances with both commercial mainstream as well as the politically involved Italian artists of that time period, therefore Gaetano’s early recordings, 1973’s solitary “I REALLY LIKE You Marianna” and 1974’s recording Ingresso Libero, didn’t make waves. Acknowledgement finally was included with the track “Il Cielo è Sempre Più Blu,” a typically corrosive explanation of Italian culture that unexpectedly managed to get to the very best of the graphs in 1975. Between 1976 and 1980 Gaetano documented a string of effective albums (Mio Fratello è Figlio Unico, Aida, Nuntereggae Più, Resta Vile Maschio Dove Vai), that cemented his status as Italy’s most important ironic commentator within the country’s intimate conservatism, spiritual hypocrisy, and politics corruption. A distinctive free soul, Gaetano’s vibrant persona was strengthened by his outlandish shows and clothes, notably in the San Remo event, the original event of Italian well-known music that Gaetano adored to mock — while at exactly the same time being cynically conscious that he also had a need to perform there to be able to sell information. Tragically, Gaetano passed away in a vehicle accident in Rome on June 2, 1981, just weeks before his relationship. He was 31 yrs . old.
