Italian melodic-pop/beat group known for late-1960s hits such as "Senza Luce" and "Sognando la California" and for a 1972 concept album, "Suite per una donna assolutamente relativa."

Reviews note original members Giancarlo Sbriziolo (vocals/bass), Pietro Montalbetti and Erminio Salvaderi. The 1972 concept album involved lyrics by Herbert Pagani and compositions by keyboardist Mario Totaro; the band mixed melodic pop with symphonic/prog touches.

DeBaser hosts a handful of reviews of Dik Dik, covering their 1968 debut, major hits and a 1972 concept album. Reviews note the band's melodic-pop roots, occasional prog tendencies and enduring classics like "Senza Luce". Overall: respected for hits and experimentation, with mixed commercial results for the prog attempt.

For:Fans of 1960s-70s Italian pop, listeners interested in melodic pop with prog touches

 This was the case with Dik Dik, who in 1972 attempted to "make the leap" and, supported by a series of noteworthy lyrics by Herbert Pagani, began working on various ideas written by Mario Totaro, the band's keyboardist and main composer.
