Italian Music
Born out of
the strains of melodrama, the melodic traditions of Italian song have
seen many a change over the past forty years, starting with Domenico
Modugno. This tradition has never lost its charm, confirmed by
the fact that singers like Nilla
Pizzi and Al
Bano are still very popular abroad, essentially responsible for
the success also of modern singers such as Eros
Ramazzotti and Laura
Pausini.
The explosion of rock 'n' roll influenced and altered Italian song from
the outset: this was the time when wild young stars like Mina,
Adriano Celentano,
Rita Pavone and Gianni Morandi made their mark. However
a truly original current in Italian song is the singer songwriter phenomenon.
For Gino Paoli, Luigi Tenco, Bruno Lauzi and Sergio
Endrigo, songs could express a world of inner feelings that was artistically
autonomous; also the songs of Fabrizio De Andrè, while influenced
by the music of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, reflect a tendency towards
a world of intimate thought; Roberto Vecchioni explored individual
inner feelings by telling tales of Milan and its private emotions; the
music of Lucio
Battisti for the first time inventively blended the characteristics
of American rhythm 'n' blues with the Italian melodic style, using simple
yet dramatic language. Other major names in Italian music are Claudio
Baglioni, Antonello Venditti, poets and ballad singer-songwriters
such as Francesco De Gregori and Francesco Guccini and rock
artists such as Vasco
Rossi, Ligabue, Zucchero. The story of Lucio
Dalla from Bologna is quite unique: he began his career as a player
in a jazz band and shrewdly proceeded to develop his own individual style
of work which now includes even theatre musical scores. There has also
been a revival of vocal romantic singing which reached its height with
stars such as Pavarotti
and Bocelli,
following the outstanding worldwide success of the song Caruso, by Lucio
Dalla.
Italian light music comprises excellent singers and players whose style
models are jazz-oriented, such as the piano player Paolo Conte,
or inspired by the blues, as in the guitar music of Pino Daniele,
or even based on ancient traditional music and folk songs, best seen in
the violin music of Angelo Branduardi. Singer-songwriting has today
embarked into new musical territory with figures of great talent and communicability
such as Jovanotti.
