Raffaella Carrà

About Raffaella Carrà

Raffaella Carrà was the queen of Italian television and a disco icon whose joyful, liberated anthems made her a star across Europe and Latin America. As both a singer and a TV presenter she pushed boundaries, baring her midriff and singing frankly about sex and freedom at a time when that was radical. Songs like A far l'amore comincia tu and Tanti auguri became gay anthems and dance-floor staples, and her influence on Spanish-speaking pop culture was immense.
