Customer Reviews
An ecclectic collection of alternative music
I first heard Jovanotti while visiting Italy in March of 1997. He had a very popular hit single, Bella, from the CD titled "LORENZO 1997 - L'ABERGO". I was immediately attracted to his style and bought the CD before leaving for the States. Much like L'Albergo, I was pleasantly suprised with the wide range of styles found on the 90-95 collection. He is a master at blending rap with crisp brass and rythmic African beats, with a mellow ballad or two thrown in. The CD is a treat the first time through and will grow on you the more you listen.
A must for any International Alternative music collection.
One of today's most creative artists
This is one of, if the not the best, CD I own. I fell in love with Jovanotti in 94 when his "Lorenzo 1994" album came out, and since bought all his albums, older and newest, and they are all my favourites. In this compilation you will find a mix of many styles, ranging from pure old-school hip-hop to pop, cutting through funk, jazz, reggae and world music. In addition to his beautiful music, Jovanotti has some of the best and most meaningful lyrics I have ever heard. If you don't speak Italian, it is a big loss, but I am sure you will be able to appreciate the music nevertheless since it is, for lack of a better description, all but perfect!
Jovanotti neophytes start here
One of the amazon reviews claims the album is dated. I strongly disagree. 1990-1995 RACCOLTA is a compilation CD (obviously) that excludes the very dated and very juvenile (but often amusing) earlier efforts of this phenomenally popular Italian Hip Hop singer/songwriter. In the beginning, he appeared to be merely an (even goofier) Italian Beastie Boy(s, an obvious influence). Lorenzo Cherubini, better known as "Jovanotti", is a very positive, upbeat and somewhat hippie rapper with often intelligent and politically progressive lyrics set to catchy, often unique tunes. Check out his music video clips on his official website (I don't think amazon will let me put the address in here, so do a web search; ".it" is for Italian sites). As a recent music column in an Italian weekly stated, Jovanotti often upstages all other performers even when performing a ridiculous song. One could say his voice is "bel niente", i.e. certainly not pretty or strong in a purely physical sense, but I've grown to love it and have great affection for his positive life force and what I imagine to be a lively spiritual influence on Italian music fans. And to the same reviewer mentioned above: I bought this CD in '95 and have been enjoying it for 10 years now. Lorenzo is about 40 now (2006), but the music will appeal to much younger, and quite possibly much older fans.
N.B. You can download a 4-part (Italian-language) interview with Lorenzo Cherubini from MTV Storytellers, available FREE from the iTunes store.
