I Corvi

Musical Group

I Corvi are an Italian 1960s beat/garage band noted for their 1966 hit "Un Ragazzo Di Strada", a dark image (black cloaks) and a pet crow named Alfredo. Early lineup mentioned in reviews includes Fabrizio Levati, Italo Ferrari, Claudio Benassi and singer Angelo Ravasini.

Won the Cantagiro with "Un Ragazzo Di Strada"; started as Beatles/Rolling Stones-influenced covers; sound described as Italian beat with garage/psychedelic and hard-rock elements; the band used a crow named Alfredo as part of their image. Several tracks are covers (Brogues, Electric Prunes, Donovan, The Kinks).

DeBaser hosts two reviews of I Corvi's seminal 1966 album 'Un Ragazzo Di Strada'. Reviewers highlight the band's dark, rebellious image, distorted/garage guitars and links to Italian beat and early psychedelia. The title track (a Brogues cover) and songs like "Luce" and "Sospesa ad un filo" are repeatedly singled out.

For:Fans of 1960s Italian beat, garage and psychedelic rock; record collectors; music historians.

 This track (with which they won the Cantagiro) is a cover of the unknown "Brogues" and lets us feel for the first time in our country an overwhelming "punk" energy.

 They even had a real crow on the bass named "Alfredo," who then died one day forgotten in the van with the instruments;
