The Profile

Loredana Berté is an Italian singer and performer known for a powerful voice, provocative imagery, and a run of major hits from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Sister of Mia Martini, she helped inject reggae and rock into Italian pop and remains active on stage and in the studio.

Born in Bagnara Calabra, Italy (1950). Sister of Mia Martini (Domenica Bertè). Key hits include “Sei bellissima”, “E la luna bussò”, “Non sono una signora” and “Il mare d’inverno”. Frequent collaborator Ivano Fossati; also worked with Enrico Ruggeri. Married Björn Borg in the 1980s.

Reviews praise Berté’s golden run between the late ’70s and early ’80s, with Traslocando and Jazz often singled out. Bandabertè is celebrated for bringing reggae into Italian pop. Non sono una signora, Sei bellissima, E la luna bussò and Il mare d’inverno recur as touchstones. Un pettirosso da combattimento (1997) is noted for raw, autobiographical power. Fossati’s role as songwriter/producer is repeatedly highlighted.

Notable Quotes

❝ The cover is Bertè style, sacred and profane, dressed as a nun with red lips.
❝ Every track flows as smooth as oil and Loredana Bertè relies on strong writers (like the aforementioned Fossati, but also Piccoli and Ruggeri) to unleash her fiery personality.
❝ “Jazz” is Bertè's last great album before oblivion and, as had been the custom for some years, it was recorded in America, at Media Sound in New York in August 1983.
❝ A fighting robin was released on the occasion of the Sanremo Festival in 1997, almost two years after the death of Mia Martini.
❝ Bertè wonderfully interpreted the track: great vocal range, enviable sense of rhythm, grit and anger to spare.
