Contents

Release

The album's lead single "Hey bionda" was released in July 1988. [1] The single, described as "an anti-war tarantella dance song", became the opening theme song of the 1988 Festivalbar. [1]

The album was released on 5 September 1988. [1] A Malafemmina Tour to promote the album, consisting of 48 dates across 10 countries, was held between October and December 1988. [1]

Composition

Produced by Nannini and Alan Moulder, Malafemmina is a concept album which in each song explores of a different facet of the female universe, and has been described as "an attempt to make a Mediterranean rock in which Maghrebi rhythms are fused, often happily, with the Anglo-American-derived harmonic archetype." [1]
