Story & Background
Your "Bandabertè" from 1979 on CGD is a piece of history for Loredana Bertè and for all Italian music, and not just for its energy. This album marks an audacious turning point, particularly with the track "E la luna bussò". It was a revolutionary moment: Bertè, with the help of Ivano Fossati, decided to bring reggae, a genre then almost unknown and certainly not mainstream in Italy, into the national charts. The record label CGD was initially sceptical, fearing a poor reception for such "exotic" sounds unfamiliar to the Italian public. There was even significant difficulty in finding Italian musicians who mastered the genre with authenticity for the studio recording. Despite the resistance, Bertè and Fossati insisted on their vision, creating an innovative and contagious sound that became iconic. "E la luna bussò" was not only a huge commercial success, but effectively opened the doors to reggae in the Italian music scene, making "Bandabertè" a fundamental record and a true precursor for every discerning collector.
