Caparezza
Michele Salvemini, a.k.a Caparezza , was born in Molfetta ( his stage name means "Curly Head" in the local Puglia dialect). In 1996, he made his musical debut as Mikimix, with " Donne in minigonne". In 1997 he took part in the Sanremo Festival with the single "E la notte se ne va" and the album "La mia buona stella" before taking a break from the music scene.
CAPAREZZA!?, which came out in 2000 on Extra/Virgin was his first album, but it was really with "Fuori dal tunnel" that "Capa" obtained notoriety and success: taken from the album IN SUPPOSTA VERITAS (2003), it was used as the theme song for the tv programme, Zelig, becoming one of the most played songs of 2004.
After a live DVD, Caparezza released HABEMUS CAPA in 2006 , a sort of "concept album", in which he imagines his own death and reincarnation as a series of weird and wonderful characters.
