Antonella Ruggiero Sospesa

Italian pop singer Antonella Ruggiero used to sing at parties as a child, her first step to becoming a local star years later. After attending the Fine Arts Academy, she started working as a designer for an advertising company. In 1975, Ruggiero joined Matia Bazar, a popular vocal group founded by Aldo Stilita, which achieved international recognition in the late '70s. In October 1989, she decided to leave the band. After an inspiring length of time in India, Ruggiero began her solo career with the release of an album called Libera in 1996. That was followed by 1997's Registrazioni Moderne, produced by Roberto Colombo. It included the song "Per Un'Ora d'Amore," which climbed the most important Italian charts. In 1998, she came in second place at the San Remo Festival for singing "Amore Lontanissimo."

Antonella Ruggiero and Roberto Colombo have made an album of experimental music. A trip into music and combinations of Electronic and Classical Music. The DVD contains the video "Attesa" with images of urban settings and the music of Ruggiero and Colombo. Antonella Ruggiero is a Italian singer and songwriter born 15 November 1952 in Genova. She is one of the founders of Matia Bazar, that left in 1989 for start solo career. Roberto Colombo started his career with two phenomenal experimental prog albums, both of them hybrids of Italian prog and fusion styles, with a liberal dose of Mothers/Zappa influence, riddled with invention. After that his career was all-change, first as a sought after electronics specialist (including work with PFM), and then as a prolific producer and session musician.

There are certain violin soloists who have adopted their instrument as a real extension of his soul. This is - nor more neither less- the case of Ruggiero Ricci a virtuosi who seems to be cold at the first bars of every piece ( as a matter iof fact I had the chance to watch him four times between 1976 and 1985 in Caracas), but once you are involved in the mood of the piece he conveys us to new horizons, thanks his amazing technique and voluptuous sensibility.
