Life and career

Alberto Camerini was born in São Paulo, Brazil from Italian Jewish parents who had moved to South America a few years earlier. His parents moved back to Milan when Alberto was 11 years old. [1] Camerini enrolled at the University of Milan, where he became friends with Eugenio Finardi, who introduced him to music; [2] together with Eugenio Finardi, Camerini started two bands, "Il Pacco" and "L'Enorme Maria". Camerini became a proficient guitarist and he later did session work for musicians such as Patty Pravo, Stormy Six, Fausto Leali and Eugenio Finardi himself. [1] [2]

Camerini started his solo career in 1976, with the single "Pane quotidiano" and three albums that proposed an original mix between rock and Brazilian music. [1] In the eighties Camerini initiated a successful collaboration with lyrics author and record producer Roberto Colombo. Inspired by the Kraut rock movement that was dominant in Europe at the time, Camerini had a significant commercial success with a number of synthpop hits, particularly with the songs "Rock 'n' roll robot" and "Tanz bambolina". [1] [2] In 1984 Camerini participated to the Sanremo Music Festival where he finished 16th. Following the lukewarm reception to his 1986 album Angeli in Blue Jeans, Camerini took a break from music for about a decade. [1] [3] In 1995 Camerini reprised his career and recorded the album, Dove l'arcobaleno arriva.
