Biography
Anna Oxa was born on April 28, 1961. At 17, she made her debut at the 1987 San Remo Song Festival with resounding success. In 1982 she signed a contract with CBS, and the following year released her first album "Per sognare, per can tare, per ballare" Then followed several years of acclaim by audiences and music critics, top albums and triumphant appearances at the San Remo Festival. At the end of 1986 Anna took a two-year absence from the active music and TV scene. She bounced back with a new LP and a star performance at San Remo, demonstrating her artistic development. She then undertook a long tour and co-hosted the popular Italian Saturday evening TV programme "Fantastico 9". To celebrate her 10th musical anniversary, she appeared at the San Remo Festival 1989 together with Fausto Leali, winning with "Ti laccero".
Fausto Leali's presence on the Italian music scene dates back to the early Sixties. His many performances at the San Remo Song Festival have given Fausto a place among the great Italian popular singers. After excellent placings at the 1987 and 1988 festivals and the great success of his albums, he returned this year with Anna Oxa. Their winning song "Ti lascero" is featured on his recentlv released LP. [Notes from the Official 1989 programme]
