At this point of her life, Loredana has established herself as a complete artist: a theatre actress, a professional dancer, a mime… you name it.
However, she will show her best in the music industry, just like her sister Mia Martini: it runs in the blood, as they say.
It’s with the latter that she manages to score a winning shot.
In 1970, fate will have the two sisters meeting again in one of RCA’s studios. For the recording of the LP “Per un pugno di Samba” by Chico Buarque de Hollanda.
Lolò and Mimi’s amazing voices can be heard throughout various songs throughout the album by the Brazilian singer, From this point on, musically speaking, the two sister’s career took off.
For Mia Marini, the real first award came back in 1972 with the song “Piccolo Uomo”, winning the Festivalbar. The following year Mia receives another award at the same festival with her masterpiece “Minuetto”, which will turn in best selling record throughout her career.
On the other hand, during 1972 Loredana will still be performing in theaters the shows “Ciao Rudy” and “Orfeo 9” (which also stars Renato Zero) becoming one of the main characters of the first global rock-opera directed by Tito Schipa Jr.
1974 happens to be a pivotal year for the Berté sisters:
Mia Martini is considered the European singer of the year: her records have been released in multiple countries all over the world and her hit records in French, German and Spanish that ultimately allowed her to gain significant acclaim and success abroad as well. France in particular feels very connected to Mia, as she is often compared to Edith Piaf.
During this time, Loredana has been focusing on producing more music, this time as a lead singer, meeting with Alfredo Cerruti and Enrico Riccardi , who actually helped her record her very first LP “Streaking”, released shortly after her appliance at the 1974 Festivalbar, with the single “Volevi un amore grande”. It will shortly follow the song that will change Loredana’s life forever: “Sei bellissima”.
Her second hit, dated 1978 is the historic song written in collabortion with Ivano Fossati, “Dedicato”.
it is in 1979 that Loredana shows to be a true talent when, returning from a trip to Jamaica, she was struck by a live performance of a mysterious reggae singer “with Rastas”. That’s when she came up with the decision that her next album would reproduce that particular sound.
We’re obviously speaking of Bob Marley and her first reggae song previously unreleased in Italy “E la luna bussò”.
For her future collaborations, Loredana, known as “Bertè” by now, will literally wipe out every corner of the underground scene to put “at her service” many semi-unknown musicians by the hands, voice and creativity forged in gold.
Just to name a few names: Gianni Ronco, Lele Melotti, Ricky Portera, Mario Lavezzi, Vince Tempera, Ivano Fossati, Oscar Prudente, Oscar Avogadro, Pino Daniele, Enrico Ruggeri, Gianni Bella, Phil Palmer, Mogol, Battisti, Fausto Leali, Ivan Graziani, Bernando Lanzetti, Guido Guglielminetti, Elio Rivagli, Djavan, Aida Cooper, Rossana Casale, Giulia Fasolino, Mango, Bruno Lauzi. And who knows how many we might be forgetting …
Il 3 maggio dopo il concerto di Bologna mi sono rotta una costola, non volevo farvi preoccupare o creare ulteriore spostamenti nelle date del tour, quindi ho fatto tutti i successivi concerti in programma fino adesso, soffrendo in silenzio ma felice di essere con voi.
In ospedale mi avevano dato minimo 20 giorni di riposo assoluto, cosa che non ho fatto, e quindi la costola non si è rimessa a posto, come ieri mi hanno spiegato alla visita di controllo.
Ormai il dolore è troppo forte, e mi hanno sconsigliato di continuare a sollecitare la costola per 2h di seguito per un intero concerto.
Pertanto siamo costretti a riprogrammare la data di Reggio Emilia per fine tour, a settembre 2022 (vi comunicheremo la nuova data entro 1 settimana).
I biglietti acquistati saranno sempre validi, in alternativa sarà possibile chiedere il rimborso presso i canali dove li avete acquistati, a partire dalle ore 10:00 di lunedì 30 maggio 2022 fino al 30 giugno 2022.
P.S.: Ci tengo a precisare che onorerò la promessa fatta a Gianna Nannini di essere sua ospite allo Stadio Artemio Franchi di Firenze il prossimo 28 maggio: per fortuna lì dovrò fare solo una canzone non un intero concerto, per un solo brano ce la farò!
