Neri Per Caso
有着”a cappella”唱法顶尖水平的意大利乐团, Neri Per Caso于1992年成立于意大利萨勒诺.由一对兄弟(Ciro&Gonzalo)和他们的堂兄弟(Diego&Domenico)以及他们的朋友(Mario&Massimo)组成.从上世纪50年代兴起的doo-wop(“嘟”-”呜”等声唱词)唱法中获得灵感.
Neri Per Caso在萨勒诺举行了第一次公演.一次音乐会后,他们在罗马遇见了”伯乐”-----Claudio Mattone.1995年Neri Per Caso以一曲”Le Ragazze”在萨勒诺音乐节上赢得了最佳新人奖和可观的赞誉,这首歌被收录在同名专辑中.同时还有一些以”a cappella”方式演奏的有影响力的意大利流行歌曲. 例如单曲”Sentimento Pentimento”.通过独特的音乐风格(演奏中不使用任何乐器,单纯使用人声)和动听的旋律,他们直达意大利排行榜榜首.第二年, Neri Per Caso携浪漫抒情的 “Mai Più Sola”重返萨勒诺音乐节,随后发表了第二张专辑”Strumenti”,并第一次使用音响和电子乐器伴奏.
同年,他们发表了”圣诞歌曲选集”- “And So This Is Christmas”.随后在1997年, Neri Per Caso录制了这张专辑的西班牙文版并于次年发布.1999年他们在亚洲和拉丁美洲举行了巡演.第五张唱片集”Angelo Blu”于2000年发行,收录了单曲”Sarà”(意大利文,翻唱自Tavares的”Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel”).
为了庆祝成立十周年, Neri Per Caso在2002年发行了精选集”La Raccolta”包括了2首新曲目和之前所有的主打曲目以及成名曲,其中”Quando”出自1996年迪士尼公司出品的动画电影”巴黎圣母院”意大利文版原声带.在其后几年中,乐团把主要精力放在了举行演唱会上---在新加坡和拉丁美洲的公演;
2008年Neri Per Caso发行了新的专辑”Angoli Diversi”,完整地收录了各个版本的著名意大利歌曲翻唱并加入了他们有独创性的理解,包括Mario Biondi, Lucio Dalla, Pooh, Gino Paoli, and Claudio Baglioni.
The first Italian band to reach the top of the charts singing a cappella, Neri Per Caso formed in Salerno in 1992, their lineup consisting of brothers Ciro and Gonzalo Caravano, their cousins Diego and Domenico Pablo "Mimì" Caravano (brothers themselves), and friends Mario Crescenzo and Massimo de Divitiis. Inspired by 1950s doo wop, they played their first gigs in Salerno and on cruise boats. After a concert in Rome they met their future producer, Claudio Mattone. In 1995 they achieved considerable fame winning the New Artists section of the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Le Ragazze," included in the album of the same title, along with the single "Sentimento Pentimento" and some a cappella renditions of famous Italian pop songs. Thanks to their unusual vocal style (without any instrument to back them) and their catchy tunes, they immediately reached the top of the Italian charts. The following year they returned to the Sanremo Music Festival with the romantic ballad "Mai Più Sola" and then released their second album, Strumenti, in which for the first time their voices was accompanied by both acoustic and electronic instruments.
That same year they released a collection of Christmas songs, And So This Is Christmas, followed in 1997 by Neri Per Caso, for which they also recorded a Spanish version that was released one year later. Then, in 1999, Neri Per Caso toured Asia and Latin America. Their fifth effort, Angelo Blu, came out in 2000, and included the single "Sarà" (an Italian translation of Tavares' "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel"). To celebrate their tenth year of activity, in 2002 Neri Per Caso released the anthology La Raccolta, which included two new tracks and all their greatest hits -- one of them being "Quando," from the soundtrack of the Italian version of the 1996 Walt Disney animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame. During the following years, the band concentrated on playing live, with gigs in Singapore and Latin America; then in 2008 Neri Per Caso released a new album called Angoli Diversi, entirely comprised of cover versions of famous Italian songs performed along with their original interpreters, including Mario Biondi, Lucio Dalla, Pooh, Gino Paoli, and Claudio Baglioni.
