Le Rivoltelle
Le Rivoltelle (English: "The Revolvers") is a musical group composed entirely of women that come from Cosenza, Italy.[1][2]
History
The musical group's project was born in Cosenza in 2005 from the meeting of four musicians: Elena, Alessandra, Paola and Angela. They are best known for re-proposing classics from the national and international repertoire of the 1960s and 1990s in a modern key through a mix of genres such as ska, rock and reggae.[2]
In 2010 they released their debut single La notte with Cristiani Music Italy, a famous song by the Italian-Belgian singer Salvatore Adamo. The following year their first album was released: Donne Italiane, a tribute to Italy on the occasion of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italian unification.[3] 2012 saw the release of her second album: Le Rivoltelle, preceded by the single Taglia 38, which in her music video shows a performance by dancer Mary Garret aka Mariafrancesca Garritano.[4] The same year they participated in the Mei Supersound Festival in Faenza organized by MEI.[5]
