Born May 16, 1951 in São Paulo, Alberto Camerini is an Italian singer, guitarist and songwriter known for blending Brazilian rhythms with punk, new wave and electronic pop. He is best known for songs such as "Rock 'n' Roll Robot" and "Tanz Bambolina."

Reviews and public sources describe Camerini as an eclectic, chameleonic artist who created a recurring Harlequin/Arlecchino persona, explored themes of carnival and childhood, and mixed electronics, rock and Latin rhythms. Critiques note commercial peaks in the early 1980s (Rockmantico, Rudy e Rita), later personal struggles (reviews mention depression, drug problems and a multi-year absence), and a return to punk aesthetics in the 2000s.

 The love for commedia dell'arte, for rock'n'roll, joints, electronics, and girls are at the heart of this work by Alberto Camerini from 1978, produced by Shel Shapiro right after the revolutionary punk wave that shook the country a few months earlier.

 In the vast array of Italian singer-songwriters of past years, I prefer Alberto Camerini among many, although the term "singer-songwriter" is not suitable for him, as "Artist" is much more appropriate.

 Unmercifully still labeled today, for those who remember him, as crazy, frenzied, drug-addict, but above all as "the one who sang Rock'n'roll Robot," Alberto Camerini never took it to heart.
