Her sex appeal but at the same time her simplicity have made her an icon of pop and music. It is also an example of women's emancipation. The "Guardian" celebrates Raffaella Carrà with a long and very detailed article. The occasion is the release of a musical film entitled “Explota Explota My Heart Goes Boom”. The Uruguayan director Nacho Alvarez will direct it. A film that is above all a tribute to the great artist, through the songs that made her famous.
Raffaella Carrà, the portrait of femininity and emancipation
For the prestigious British newspaper Raffaella Carrà is considered a great artist who made the history of TV and music. And as he mentions in the title of the long article, she is "the Italian pop star who taught Europe the joy of sex". A cultural icon, therefore, for having revolutionized Italian entertainment. And then giving women the opportunity to "take the lead in the bedroom". Today Raffaella Carrà is 77 years old. She recently conducted a broadcast on Rai and is very active on social media. Now the musical film that celebrates his career through his songs.
"La Carrà wore proto-glam jumpsuits - it reads on daily English-. Capes, rhinestones, feathers and tight dresses (recently the subject of an exhibition in a museum) accompanied by a blond bob that makes even Anna Wintour's look dull, but what made her stand out was a combination of sex appeal and simplicity. He taught women that having free will in the bedroom wasn't outrageous, that it was okay to fall in love with a gay man, and that not all relationships are exactly healthy.".
A total artist: Raffaella Carrà has conquered entire generations
Not surprisingly, therefore, a complete artist. As the Guardian mentions, Raffaella Carrà was able to "sing, dance and act, and everything was fine". And then a comparison between great Italian artists. In fact, according to the newspaper "technically speaking, Italy had musically much better and more intense singers: Mina, an incredible mezzo-soprano; Milva, known as Milva "the Red" for her political leanings and fiery mane; Patty Pravo, a deeply dramatic contralto; and Giuni Russo, which sublimated the operatic technique in pop, with a range of five octaves. Yet Carrà has surpassed them all".
The great successes that have made the history of music
And so Raffaella Carrà quickly became one of the best known and most iconic faces. In 1976 his great international success "A far l'amore comincia tu" which in England even reached the ninth place in the ranking of the most listened to singles. "When Sweden had Abba, Italy had Raffaella Carrà, who sold millions of records across Europe". It reads in the newspaper. And it really is. A cultural phenomenon for sexual emancipation in Italy and then in Spain. And then the success with a lot of legendary ballet by "Tuca Tuca". An icon that everyone liked and liked. She herself said in 1974 not to draw inspiration from anyone "I speak to children, to fathers who watch sports, to wives, then to Italian families who watch TV". The newspaper also mentions when Raffaella Carrà was crushed by Maurizio Costanzo who defined her "The queen of so-so".
Her looks, her blond bob, her dresses have become legendary. Finally, the Guardian underlines that "Most of Carrà's sexual pop anthems are a product of Italian TV from the 70s, but they are not relics of the past: Italians still know the lyrics by heart and sing them as soon as the opportunity arises". And now a musical all about her. We will wait for it. Not only her fans but also those who still want to sing the most famous songs of the great artist.
