The Founding fathers |
|
Lucio Battisti |
 |
The songs written by Battisti are not only a musical phenomenon, but also one of traditions. The unpredictable flow of his compositions, his hoarse vocal character with medium-high tones, the direct and never commonplace lyrics written by Mogol revolutionized Italian pop music |
Adriano Celentano |
 |
A young man born in via Gluck, with a springy step, king of the ignoramus – Adriano Celentano has been defined in many ways. An instinctive and irreverent artist, Celentano is a true entertainer and not only a singer or a songwriter |
Peppino Di Capri |
 |
A simple yet elegant performer and composer of his own songs, Di Capri contaminated Italian music and Neapolitan dialect with the English language and with the rhythm of rock. He has reinvented the classics from the repertory of Neapolitan melody |
Giorgio Gaber |
 |
A non-conformist, ironical and self-ironic, Gaber asserted himself with the power of his lyrics that are surreal, politically committed and minimalist, going from musical cabaret to theatre-song |
Enzo Jannacci |
 |
A tragicomical and distraught vein flows through Jannacci’s music. A great improviser on the musical scene, he gave life to surprising language inventions where he blended Italian, the Milanese dialect and urban slang together as one |
