Italian singer-songwriter from Rome, active from the late 1970s. Known for the Sanremo-performed song "Barbara" and a long collaboration with lyricist Pasquale Panella.

Debut album 'Vocazione' (1977); breakthrough with the song 'Barbara' at Sanremo; close creative partnership with lyricist Pasquale Panella; notable albums include Vocazione, Barbara E Altri Carella and Sfinge.

DeBaser reviews present Enzo Carella as an idiosyncratic Italian pop auteur. Critics highlight his collaboration with lyricist Pasquale Panella, his Sanremo song "Barbara" and albums from Vocazione onward. Reviews praise the blend of light melodies and complex, hermetic lyrics.

For:Fans of Italian pop, lyrical experimentation, and vintage singer-songwriter records

 Enzo Carella, therefore, by never theoretically approaching the concepts of pop, managed to be the most pop artist in Italy. For now and forever.

 Panella's hermeticism, to which Carella lends himself excellently, however, does not serve only to hide what the well-meaning (I include myself) would find inelegant to hear. Panella manages to make his songs immortal!
