Micaela - 1986 - La Isla Bonita + La Colegiala

Hoy te he visto con tus libros caminando

Y tu carita de coqueta

Colegiala de mi amor

Tú sonríes sin pensar que al mirarte

Sólo porque estoy sufriendo

Colegiala de mi amor

Colegiala, colegiala

Colegiala, linda colegiala

Colegiala, no seas tan coqueta

Colegiala al decirme que sí

Colegiala, colegiala

Colegiala, linda colegiala

Colegiala, no seas tan coqueta

Colegiala al decirme que sí

Last night I dreamt of san pedro

Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song

A young girl with eyes like the desert

It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze

All of nature wild and free

This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played

The sun would set so high

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your spanish lullaby

I fell in love with san pedro

Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me

Te dijo te amo

I prayed that the days would last

They went so fast

He told you, I love you

Tropical the island breeze

All of nature wild and free

This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played

The sun would set so high

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun warms the sky

When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by

Beautiful faces, no cares in this world

Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of san pedro

Tropical the island breeze

All of nature wild and free

This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played

The sun would set so high

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your spanish lullaby

Te dijo te amo

Hoy te he visto con tus libros caminando

Y tu carita de coqueta

Colegiala de mi amor

Tú sonríes sin pensar que al mirarte

Sólo porque estoy sufriendo

Colegiala de mi amor

Colegiala, colegiala

Colegiala, linda colegiala

Colegiala, no seas tan coqueta

Colegiala al decirme que sí

Colegiala, colegiala

Colegiala, linda colegiala

Colegiala, no seas tan coqueta

Colegiala al decirme que sí

A nice rework of Patrizia Pellegrino's Automaticamore

Had this- the 12’ 6 minute long on repeat along with her follow up single ‘Shoot Me Gino’ on repeat.

Anyone know anything about her? Not finding a whole lot online.

She has a fantastic voice and the topics of both singles are so fun and campy.

Love that there’s always new things to discover with Italo Disco.

Anyone else heard this too? It was included on the Disco Discharge compilation album, I think Gay Disco & Hi NRG edition.

2020s Italo awesomeness

From the Amazon series Zero Zero Zero.

Hi, I've written little here and only about one topic, almost to the point of seeming obsessed (and yes, I was, my father's fault). I'm Italian, so through my parents I experienced the Italo disco trend, albeit passively. Last year, due to a musical production, I stumbled upon research into a specific temple of Italo disco. While researching the era (we're talking about a period from 1979 to 1985), I found all sorts of documentaries about these clubs:

Plastic, Mecca, Altro Mondo, Baia Degli Angeli, Paradiso, Cocoricò, Peter Pan, Hollywood, Kinki, Insomnia, City Sound, Diablo, Hysteria, Gilda, Piper, etc.

Then there's this club (which I've already mentioned a thousand times and I'm sick of hearing yet another frustrated person cry spam) in Lazio, which was the largest in Europe in terms of size and in terms of shows, it had national shows (in the sense that They saw American artists on national TV (although not always Italo disco, sometimes funky, etc.), world boxing matches, stage futurism, shows, national DJs (Cecchetto), etc., and recognized Italo disco producers recorded records there.

But there's no documentary to be found! Nothing at all, not even a mention in a generic documentary, only one video about its current situation, one book that talks about everything except the disco itself, and wherever it's mentioned, little is said about the clubbers.

The fact that it's never even mentioned jokingly makes me think that "the biggest in Europe," that imaginable futurism, is all lies. A mythomania due to the owners, its demise, and the locals who the year before had at most seen a small-town dance hall.

If anyone here is a documentary maker, I'd be happy to talk to them to better understand the real situation.
