[28] It is equipped with a voice and a musicality out of the ordinary, cultivated by listening to American singers such as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley and an extravagant gestures that accompanies the innato sense of rhythm. [29]

In those years in Cremona there is a musical group that is enjoying some success: the “Happy Boys”. [30] The band, founded in 1949 by Nino Donzelli, whose brother Renzo on guitar, the pianist Giorgio Levi, the singer-bassist Giacomo “Micio” Masseroli and the drummer Fausto Coelli also includes, he soon became famous in the Cremonese whales, as well as in Mantua, Parma and Piacenza. On a sultry afternoon of late August 1958, the day after having witnessed their performance at Circolo Filodrammatici of Cremona , and after only one week from his first improvised performance to the compass, Mina goes to Nino and Renzo Donzelli’s house, proposing himself as a singer.

[32] Mina’s performance is engaging, to such an extent that the public loudly asks for the encore. [33] Among the organizers, although satisfied, there is a certain embarrassment, since the encore was foreseen for Natalino Otto and Flo Sandon’s, who are somewhat affected. [34] A few years later, Flo Sandon’s, finding himself a guest a Song And remembering the episode with her, then presenter of the broadcast, publicly admitted: “That time you, Mina, ruined the evening”. Mina herself remembered that first time in Rivarolo in the newspaper The print of 22 September 2008:

«Fifty years split ago, a lungagnona with a cocktail dress that was stolen secretly from the mother, went up on the shaky stage of a Lombard whale. Please note that the dress was blue and white. Glossy. Do you remember that after singing the first song, the title? No, it’s too much, he got angry because people applauded. «I sing for me. What do they have to do with them? ». He didn’t have clear ideas. Or maybe it was too lucid. It should be remembered that at the end of that very first experience he ran away because the parents did not know … they didn’t want to. At eighteen it was a must obey. But he hadn’t done it. And he had to run to put the dress back in place as quickly as possible. It should be remembered that shortly after, behind her insistence, the father had convinced the mother to let her do: «So much, what you want, this madness will last a few weeks. Let’s let it do ». Lungagnona, on the other hand, is still here that it breaks the boxes with that small mysterious mechanism that are the songs. That she loves and respects. And … and … and Lungagnona does not remember anything else. ”

( Mina [35] )

and in the weekly Vanity Fair of 5 October 2011, remembering Flo Sandon’s wrote:

“I have a sweet memory of Flo Sandon’s that I saw the very first time I got on a stage. She and her husband, the great Natalino Otto, were the stars of the evening. I, very unknown, sang with a Cremonese group, for the first time, in fact. We were in a classic Lombard whale. In the end I remember that they told me: “She will make the way.” The first thing that surprised me was the fact that they gave me of her and then I thought: “… these two … I’m crazy …”. ”

( Mina [36] )

The Happy Boys are enthusiastic about Mina and Nino Donzelli invites the owner of the Italdisc, Davide Matalon, to attend the subsequent performance expected in Casteldidone. [34]

“Baby Gate” is at the Urlatric Mine [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

Mina and Davide Matalon (his first record)

Davide Matalon at the beginning is a little hesitant, but is convinced by his musical consultant Giulio Lebanano who, after listening to Mina, is very favorably affected. He then engraves four songs: Be bop and stayed It is When with the Broadway label and with the name of art “baby gate”; Not to depart It is Disease With the Italdisc label and the royal name Mina. Waiting to understand which of the two artistic images would have had the greatest success of the public, in this very first phase of the career, Mina and its alter ego baby gate coexist on the market. [37]

To pay its potential, Matalon makes her participate in the Six days of the song , Milanese singing competition taken from television. On 1 December 1958, with the song protect me Mina participates in the inaugural evening at the Smerald theater. The presenter is Corrado and the guest of honor Mike Bongiorno. Second comes (behind Wera Nepy with Call me autumn ) and gets an overwhelming success. [38]

Matalon offers Happy Boys the opportunity of a tour in Türkiye, but Mina’s parents oppose; Above all, the father does not want his daughter to definitively abandon the school. Fausto Celli also decides not to leave for family reasons. Stayed in Cremona, Mina and Fausto decide to form a new group and, together with Lino Pavesi at sax, Lamberto “Memo” Fieschi on the floor, Ermanno Scolari at the double bass and Enrico Grossi on the guitar, founded “the lonely”.

[40] In the meantime, the two Mina records published by Italdisc exceed all expectations and, in an era in which to sell 70 000 copies is a company, the two 45 rpm exceeds the share of 100 000 separately. [41] Matalon makes her sign a three -year contract, until 1961, with the commitment to engrave two 45 laps within the year, that is 4 songs. As usual then, the pieces to be engraved are chosen from the songs of the Sanremo Festival of that year. The choice falls on Nobody , a melodic song sung by Wilma De Angelis.

[42] The first public interpretation of Nobody In the new version it takes place shortly after a new edition of the Six days of the song , in a crowded Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Milan. [43] [44]

Matalon finally finds a space on television for his artist, thanks to the interest aroused by Mina, who made his debut at Rai on March 1, 1959, in the very popular broadcast Leave or double? conducted by Mike Bongiorno, always with the song Nobody . [45]

Foundation of the PDU in Lugano [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

The band , great success of the summer 1967, will be the latest single engraved for Ri-Fi. Eager for his own artistic and design autonomy, on 1 December 1967 Mina founded together with the father, in Lugano, the PDU ( Plate throughout UltraPhone ), the only record label for which he has since engraved, changing only distribution.

The first album published by the PDU is a 45 rpm comprising on the side to the song Branch , reinterpretation of the famous Aranjuez Concert by Joaquín Rodrigo on the text by Giorgio Calabrese, and on the B side The speeches , text signed by Mina herself on music by Augusto Martelli, new arranger of the singer. In three days the disc sells 25 000 copies, but is immediately withdrawn from the market as Joaquín Rodrigo does not approve of hammers on hammers on Branch , that is to say on Aranjuez Concert : same fate happens to the other reinterpretations of the song that at that time had been published by Richard Anthony and Fabrizio De André, while that of Dalida ( Aranjuez your voice ) instead is “spared” by the author. The 45 rpm is then reprinted keeping the B side unchanged The speeches (chosen as the abbreviation of the new radio appointments with the singer, the well -known Afternoons with Mina ) and inserting a new facade a, Marinella’s song of the then unknown Fabrizio De André, who will later write:

“If a miraculous voice had not interpreted in 1967” Marinella’s song “, in all probability I would have finished my studies to devote myself to the lawyer. I thank Mina for putting the cards in my favor and above all for the benefit of my virtual assisted. ”

( André Fabrizio [98] )
Mina on the album cover Dedicated to my father of 1967, first LP published by the PDU

The speeches It is Marinella’s song they also flow into the first LP published by the PDU and entitled Dedicated to my father : the album includes classics like Johnny Guitar , Kiss Me a lot , That Old Feeling , The Man That Got Away , taken from the American and South American repertoire, as in the albums Mina (1964) and Mina 2 (1966). Subsequently he engraves on 45 laps two songs presented in Sanremo ’68: on the side A there is Song for you , winner of Sergio Endrigo, sung by the author and by Roberto Carlos in the double version; On the B side it is found That applies to me by Carlo Alberto Rossi and Marisa Terzi (already authors of If you weren’t here , engraved two years earlier by Mina), eliminated from the race in the versions of Eartha Kitt and Peppino Gagliardi. The two songs will also be engraved in Spanish, inside the first 45 laps exported to Spain by the PDU ( Canann to me / de you serve ).

In the meantime, the Ri-Fi continues to exploit archival material: in September 1967, on a contract already expired, the Milanese label published the 45 laps with the unpublished You will not leave me It is Postcards , engraved a few months earlier (actually Postcards had been presented by the singer in one sketch Of Carousel for Barilla). Another unpublished re-fi is In the bottom of my heart : it is the second cover of Alberto Cortez in the repertoire of the singer, five years after Renato (1962), with Italian text written by Mina herself: the song is published for the first time within the collection 4 years of success , published shortly before the Christmas period at the end of 1967, anticipating the album release Dedicated to my father . In the bottom of my heart He was released in February 1968, obtaining a fair sales success. Until 1969, Ri-Fi continues to release another 45 laps, often using songs previously appeared only on album. This was repeated what had already happened with the Italdisc, who had placed a series of 33 from 1964 to 1968 ( 20 hits of mine , My n. 7 , Mina interpreted by mine , etc.) and 45 rpm ( Sometimes , Rhapsody , The sky in a room , Young at Love , Due note , etc.), using archive material published and not, often to exploit the various waves of visibility of the singer from time to time.

The figure of Mina has always aroused great curiosity and interest not only for her career, but also for the events that have characterized her private life. [159]

Pani had been married since 1959 with the actress Renata Monteduro; The two are actually separated for some time when the relationship with Mina begins, which soon becomes in the public domain. The media appropriate the news and continue to add for a long time scoop , details and assumptions to the report of the two in a critical and negative key. Even the priest Virginio Rotondi, known to the radio public for his broadcasts on faith, is interested in the story through an exchange of letters with Mina and everything is published in the newspapers.

The wedding arrives suddenly on February 25, 1970 in Trevignano Romano, on Lake Bracciano, but the professional commitments immediately divide the spouses. The two, probably precisely for work reasons, do not live together, and after not many months the marriage shipwrecked; They have already separated when on 11 November 1971, always at the Mangiagalli clinic in Milan, Mina gives light, about three weeks in advance, her second daughter, Benedetta Crocco, who years later will decide to legally add the maternal surname to that Paterno, and then made known only as Benedetta Mazzini.
