From the very first album, Gaetano was a unique "satellite" of the Italian singer-songwriter scene of those years, in his lyrics, style, and way of expressing his poetic vision. Compared to the three subsequent albums, here he is, in some songs, slightly less "out of the ordinary" than he would later become, wonderfully so. The album is still beautiful, with some of my favorite songs by Rino, especially "E la vecchia salta con l'asta." Then there's "Ad esempio a me piace il Sud," "Tu, forse non essenzialmente tu," and "Khatmandu." A great debut for a great artist.
