Raffaella Carrà dies A country in color
Opinion Moral praise of Raffaella Carrà
Raffaella Carrà was, in the second half of the 70s in Spain, a straight blonde hair often dominated by a fringe that covered her forehead and stopped, abruptly cut, before covering her eyes.
And it was imposing legs in
a body worked by the gym and the dance
.
For the gymnastic dance.
Stuffed in bright, flashy lycra (or whatever it was) outfits that were snug like a second skin to her splendid body, she danced very well, sang catchy songs gracefully, and
handled more than acceptable Spanish with a sympathetic Italian accent
that was pleasing to all. our ears. She was a
very complete
show girl
and a woman in the physical prime of her thirties.
And, yes, of course, it was an
imported
sex symbol
at a time when the "New Film Rating Standards" had replaced the "Censorship Standards." And although these new norms still entrusted the State with the task of
preserving the moral order of citizens
, they were already seen on the screen naked "if the script requires it." And films such as
Zorrita Martínez
,
Polvo eres
,
Yo soy Fulana de Tal
triumphed at the box office
...
Raffaella Carrà never undressed. He never fell into rudeness or vulgar eroticism. The physicist was helping Raffaella. But this physique was also supported by an undeniable and versatile artistic talent. Raffaella was
a classy woman, with natural elegance
and a big star in Italy. It is true that she had not really managed to stand out as an actress. But he had plenty of resources to earn a living on stage and on sets.
Preceded by that fame, she arrived in Spain in 1975 as a guest on the most important television variety program:
Ladies and gentlemen!
, performed by a
Valerio Lazarov at the height of his psychedelic style
and genialoid fame. Raffaella made such an impression that, a year later, he was granted his own space:
La hora de Raffaella Carrà
. In it and from him, he jumped into a Latin America that surrendered at his feet and built his musical career among us. She was almost one more Spanish, welcome in the homes of the country.
He had great musical hits, summer songs.
Or "summery" of score, lyrics and spirit.
Especially
you have to come to the south
, with
a phrase that the Spanish man did not hesitate to proudly accept as true and indisputable
.
A universal truth.
The word of a woman with "glamor", experienced and worldly: "To make love well you have to come to the south".
Raffaella also triumphed with
Hot, hot
, where he confessed that he could not sleep because he was going through a lot of heat and that suffocation only cooled down by loving.
The only refreshing hot flash known
and recommended.
Both songs would not have progressed up the charts without the artist's physique, which lent them an adoptable appeal and authenticity.
You have to come to the south, he
stayed
14 weeks in the
hit parades
and it has been in the collective imagination for decades.
Rumore
(sung in Spanish, but curiously keeping the original Italian title), which remained on the charts for 12 weeks, and
Fiesta
, a song by Gianni Boncompagni and Giorgio Bracardi adapted into Spanish by Luis Gómez Escolar,
also reached high levels of popularity and sales.
.
Fiesta
was a
hit
in 1977
.
It reached number one in sales and radio broadcasting, and did not move down from the top of the charts in 22 weeks.
In a way, Raffaellà, who returned to Spain many times as a guest on popular television shows, also never got off the frivolous but necessary
musical heart
of a country that was undergoing transformation.
