Rino Gaetano




"Anybody want to gag! I do not fear them! They will not succeed! I feel that in the future, my songs will be sung by future generations! Which, thanks to mass communication, they will understand what I say tonight! They will understand and open your eyes, rather than have them full of salt! And you wonder what was going on the beach Capocotta . "
(Rino Gaetano at a concert before singing Nuntereggae more in 1979)

Born in
Crotone, in Calabria by a family from Cutro , Rino Gaetano, he moved to Rome age of ten, for reasons related to the work of his parents. For family problems (his father suffered from heart) Rino in 1962 was sent to study in a school Apostolic Narni, in the province of Terni . Back in the capital city where he lived for the rest of his life, first in Via Monte Cimone near Piazza Sempione, in the district of Monte Sacro and later in New Nomentana .
young, with a group of friends creates a quartet composed of Krunx Giuseppe Lazzarotto bass, rhythm guitar Nicola Giordano, Carlo Tatta battery: Rino sings, plays the guitar and composing his first songs, in particular the original symbol complex "up, up, the Krunx. The group performed cover of Beatles and Rolling Stones, often in broken English.

During a trip to Milan is proposed to label Blue Bell, met them Fabrizio De Andrè that struck him very much for your willingness human. Before you esibisse Rino Fabrizio arrangements with great skill and ease the guitar.
During the return journey from Milan to Rome by train, the two friends composed a song dedicated to the facts of the monks of Cassino, accused of smuggling cigarettes. It was the beginning of irony that permeates the songs Rino: she alleged that the brothers would justify their work with religious issues related to the parallel between the prayers and cigarette smoke, both rose in the sky "so instead of praying can well smoking, "concluded the sermon imaginary Brother Leone.

The meeting with Nicholas was, to say Rino, essential for the beginning of his career.
