Story & Background
The 1977 first pressing of "AIDA", released by the visionary IT label, presented to the public a Rino Gaetano increasingly master of his narrative. The cover, with the artist's stylised image on a red background, was a visual invitation to his acidic and cutting poetic style. The album itself was a bold exploration of Italian history through the female metaphor of Aida, an extremely courageous lyrical concept for the time. This original edition not only consolidated his reputation as an irreverent and profound singer-songwriter, but represented a turning point in the Italian music scene, demonstrating how an artist could combine social criticism and singer-songwriter music with intelligence and sarcasm, without commercial compromises imposed by the record production of the time.
