And Massimo Ranieri a Fiorella Mannoia. And much more: everything is ready at the television studios ‘Fabrizio Frizzi‘ for the fifth and final episode of The best yearsthe variety show hosted by Carlo Conti created by Prime Time Rai in collaboration with Endemol Shine Italy. The appointment is Saturday 4 May, on Rai 1, at 9.25pm. A new episode to take a journey back in time, spanning sixty years, and to retrace the music, television programmes, objects, fashions and news events that most affected our past.
The guest singers will create a journey through the history of music by performing songs that have become famous over the various decades. In this fifth episode, big names on the international scene will perform on stage, such as the American vocal trio Hues Corporationwho placed songs in the hit parades around the world in the Seventies (among these the most famous is Rock the boat). There will also be Wang Chunga new wave group from the Eighties, with an international hit above all: Dance hall days.
The Italian scene will be represented by names that have made, and still make today, the history of the country’s music, starting from Massimo Ranieri e Fiorella Mannoiai Chameleons e Memo Remigi, who have accompanied the lives of Italians with their successful songs for decades. And then again: i Blacks by Chance, Gatto Panceri, the Italian disco of Miko Mission (con Angela Moy) and with Daniel Sentacruz Ensemble. Guests too The Caliphs with their beat.
But if music is fundamental, words are no less so: through i 3 x 3great interpreters of Italian entertainment tell their personal hit parades of characters, songs and objects and anything else that has marked their artistic journey.
On Saturday it’s the TV presenter’s turn Simona Ventura and to the author and presenter Giancarlo Magalli, a great witness to the television adventure of recent decades, who in recent weeks has lent his voice as a ‘narrator’ in story clips over the years. Words are also the protagonists of the moments of comedy entrusted to Maurizio Battistathe Roman comedian who has a very personal look at what was happening during the The best years, to make us smile at the old habits imprinted in our memory, now outdated. The objects of The best anni they will also be a parenthesis in the company of Giorgio Mastrota who, with his great power of persuasion, will describe them in an unusual and ironic way, taking us back to the golden days of teleshopping.
A ‘chorus’ of 30 male and female dancers, wearing period clothing, will animate the hits of the various decades with their choreographies. An evolution of the format is the space dedicated to Future boxthe ‘time capsule’ in which are inserted the characters, objects and records (33 or 45 rpm) that have marked sixty years of our history and must not be missed by future generations.
The young generations are also actively present in the studio: in all episodes a group of 60 girls and boys, aged between 18 and 24, with their inseparable mobile phones, will send ‘live’ messages to the program with comments, impressions, and in some cases even amazement, especially when faced with songs, characters, objects, fashions and habits that they have never ‘touched’ and know, perhaps, only through family traditions. And the most representative messages, shown on the LED walls, can become a reason for meetings and/or discussions with Carlo Conti and his guests.
