Bongo Cha Cha Cha, Mille and Toy Boy, the catchphrase has an ancient voice.
They will also be reinterpreted, remastered, redone but three of the musical hits of the summer 2021 have surprising protagonists three great glories back in vogue, read hits, by new interpreters.
It is a curious coincidence or a
trend featuring vintage
who knows but so much is.
The most surprising is
Bongo Cha Cha Cha
goes crazy everywhere, hummed everywhere, danced where it can.
Federica Pellegrini, for example, danced her in an Olympic costume having a lot of fun before opening the shower in Tokyo and posted it on Instagram with 102 thousand views

62 years after the song, which
Raffaella Carrà
also liked
(danced it with
Christian De Sica
on TV) by Caterina Valente, talks about South America and drags with an irresistible rhythm, is a viral phenomenon thanks to TikTok, exceeding 1.5 billion views.
The
retro remix operation
is by English DJs,
The Goodboys
(the trio that among other things collaborated with the Italians Meduza, icons of international electronic music, on the single Lose control), and has centered the desire for summer relaxation-energy of the pandemic era. And not only in Italy but also in Germany and America, with incredible success, thanks also to the presence of the original version of the 1959 song by Caterina Valente in the soundtrack of the latest Spider-Man film: Far from Home, directed in 2019 by Jon Watts.
Caterina Valente
, 90, is a cosmopolitan Italian artist, born in Paris of Italian parents and naturalized French, at the end of the 1950s she imported the new rhythms of Latin America, Bongo Cha Cha Cha was among the first Cha Cha Cha in Europe. And the song is about South America, imbued with an all-danceable exotic charm: Bongo la, bongo cha cha cha / Tell me about South America / What they say over there / Maybe it's fantasy and nothing more. Mina also sang it successfully.
And in the summer of 2021 it is the long wave, opened by ColapesceDiMartino, of the desire for light music, indeed very light
Then there is
Orietta Berti
, 78, after over 50 years of career, over 16 million records sold, repeated television engagements, Orietta Berti is the queen of the summer hit 2021. In the strange trio with Fedez and Achille Lauro, with the song
Mille
, also thanks to the 60's atmospheres, depopulated to the rhythm of millions of streaming (over 55 million only on Youtube), radio plays, platinum records (three already won), crowning the national Orietta queen. And the Coca Cola product placement rejoices (eh already everyone humming the brand: Coca-Cola red lips Tell me a secret in my ear tonight / You solved a big problem and that's okay / But then I have a thousand left / Then I have a thousand left one thousand)
- also read Orietta Berti from TV to catchphrases "good cheer!"
At the rhythm of bossanova
,
86-year-old
Ornella Vanoni
also wins
, a career
without end
(at the Venice Days of the great artist she talks to Elisabetta Fuksas in a documentary film / interview), in the hit parade of summer 2021 thanks to forerunner of the return of vintage sounds, the aforementioned duo Colapesce and DiMartino:
Toy Boy
is a love journey between the Aeolian Islands in which the two songwriters duet with Vanoni in an irresistible courtship with atmospheres that evoke a cult song sung by Ornella "The desire the madness the unconsciousness the joy". The video is also an author: it is signed by the Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino.
