As I said many times, for me - and for many other italians - MINA is the best italian pop singer ever.
But , as You Knows, Mina stopped to show herself on 1978 (32 years ago!!) , when the concerts didn't record...
Mina - the Mother Goddess of Italian Music - sung 'on live' only in Rai-Tv in her saturday's night tv-shows, and at 'Bussola', a tend-theatre in 'Forte dei Marmi', one of more exclusives italian beaches near Viareggio - Tuscany -.
"Mina alla Bussola" was an event 1 or 2 times in a year but, I repeat, in that time also an artist as Mina didn't recorded and we're very lucky to found these videos uploaded by Mina's funs; thanx to them, and thanks to Mina and her fantastic voice, more fantastic than ever, when she sung 'live'

ARISA
ARISA is the acronym of the members of his family, understands that it has changed name as the real one and Rosalba Pippa - the name means a bad word in Italian language...-
Borns in Genoa in '82 growing up in a small town near Potenza - Basilicata - won a scholarship to the academy of songwriters of Mogol, - in Umbria - and from here, after winning another selection for Sanremo.
Arisa wins Sanremo young last year, in 2009.
2009 is the year of Arisa: the success of Sanremo "Sincerità" (Sincerity) is 'pushed' from the Italian radio and sales charts to see it first in Italy with the album 'Sincerità'.
Arisa's songs are very 'easy' for the melody and on the texts, speaks about love and humors, but I think that girl will make more of 'commercial music' in her future.
Arisa will partecipate in Sanremo 2010 with the song "Ma l'amore no" (But love doesn't)

DON BACKY
Don Backy - real name Aldo Caponi - borns on 1939, in a little town in Tuscany, between Florence and Pisa.
As many other teenager that loves rock'n roll, starts to play guitar, and he becomes 'the guitar' of the rock group of his town, at same time, he starts to write songs, but it's only on 1960 he pubblish his first 45s.
Aldo Caponi while still trying to make himself known in the field of Italian music, he went to Turin, to bring his songs to various producers.
In Turin met Adriano Celentano, who, after having heard many times a song by Caponi, and only after much insistence of the writing for his new record ' Clan Celentano', which needs new talent to emerge.
It's now, that some components of the 'Clan Celentano', convince Aldo to change his name in 'DON BACKY'.
In 1962, Don Backy participate in the 'Cantagiro' produced by 'Clan Celentano'.
The Cantagiro was a rally song - like 'Sanremo' -, which was held for many years in Italy between the 1962 and '74 and who was traveling in a song contest, it lasted all summer and concerts became in the main resorts, usually in the most important Italian beaches.
At that time, Don Backy began to write lyrics for songs for other singers 'Clan Celentano': thus begins his career as an author and co-author of texts for songs, the true 'talent' Don Backy, which may considered more a writer than a singer.
These were years full of success for Don Backy, until 1967 when he wrote 'L'immensità' (The immensity) that sings in Sanremo, song considered among the most beautiful Italian songs, taken from Mina, Milva, Negramaro and many other singers,
In 1970 leaves 'Clan Celentano' to problems of royalties, and, although continuing to sing and write songs no longer be able to get those big hits that had on 60s.
Don Backy wrote many of 60's best songs; his ballades are full of feeling and music, thanks to blues and old italian melodies .
