Raffaella Carrà comments on the tribute reserved for her by The Guardian on the occasion of the release of Explota Explota
, the musical comedy that marks the directorial debut of the Uruguayan Nacho Alvarez.
The British newspaper dedicated a long article to the national 'Raffa', celebrating her as "a cultural icon who revolutionized entertainment in Italy and gave women the opportunity to take the initiative in the bedroom".
"I'm surprised, I didn't expect such recognition ... it really hit me!", She stresses.
"And of course I am honored by the fact that Nacho Alvarez has chosen my songs for his First Opera ... a sparkling cast, all very good and full of energy. I do not hide that, when I saw the film and I heard mine songs sung by other artists, it had a certain effect on me, it doesn't happen often in the various talents to hear them again. I wish them all the success they deserve, also because the film comes out at a particular moment in which people's problems are very different, but they are not to blame and I wish them that everything goes well ".
Raffaella Carrà is not only an Italian icon, but also a European one.
To say it was precisely the prestigious British newspaper Guardian, which dedicated a long article to the 77-year-old star of Italian television.
On the occasion of the launch of 'Explota explota', his career is retraced through 60 years of national history.
