Rino Gaetano

Not a phenomenon, not a genius, but certainly a strong and innovative presence in the Italian singer-songwriter scene of the '70s. He managed to wisely inject a splash of reggae into his tracks as well. The lyrics have aged somewhat unpleasantly over the decades, but "Mio fratello è figlio unico" and "Aida" ('76-'77) remain two essential albums.

Rino Gaetano

Rino Gaetano (Salvatore Antonio Gaetano) was an Italian singer-songwriter known for ironic, provocative songwriting that mixed catchy melodies with sharp social and political commentary. He rose to national popularity around the late 1970s, including a breakthrough at the Sanremo Festival with “Gianna,” and died in Rome in a road accident on June 2, 1981.
