LA BIONDA

Brothers CARMELO and MICHELANGELO LA BIONDA were already a popular Italian POP sensation when they started recording DISCO in the mid 1970's. They would provide the world with a myriad of EURODISCO gems and eventually be celebrated as 'ITALODISCO innovators' in the 21st century. Here are some of their most successful recordings, collaborations and productions:

LA BIONDA had tremendous success in the early 1980's producing ELECTRONIC SYNTH POP band RIGHEIRA. Considering such disco was a considerable diversion from most of their previous material they did extremely well. Songs like "VAMOS A LA PLAYA" are still being programmed in some Italian and Spanish discotecas today!

"ONE FOR YOU ONE FOR ME" was by far their most commercially successful song:

SHOPPING BABY
D.D. SOUND - DISCO DELIVERY (LP) - BABY
BURNING LOVE

Formosa, Lots of people really liked that first D.D.Sound lp with songs like "Burning Love" and "Shopping Baby". I actually fitted "Shopping Baby" into the show because of a request! Thanks for the comment.
