Salvatore Antonio "Rino" Gaetano (Crotone, October 29, 1950 - Rome, June
2, 1981), was an Italian singer-songwriter very popular during 1970s.
Biography Rino Gaetano was born in Crotone, in the Calabria region. At
the age of ten, due to his parents' employment reasons, he moved to Rome
where he would remain for the rest of his life.
After the first shows at Folkstudio, he was discovered by Vincenzo Micocci
and released his first single in 1973, under the pseudonym Kammamuri. The
first single was I love you Marianna (Jacqueline on the B side) produced
by Antonello Venditti and Piero Montanari. The A side could be interpreted
as a catchy pun about marijuana. However, in reality it refers to Gaetano's
fondness for his grandma, Marianna, who used to play with him as a child.
In 1974 he published his first album, Ingresso libero, which did not
gather any particular commercial or critica
aida,
dove vai?,
e io ci sto,
Ingresso libero,
Mio fratello è figlio unico,
Nuntereggae più,
Resta vile maschio,
Rino Gaetano,
