Description
A very rare undergound psychedelic prog rock album, "Dedicato a Giovanna G." had a gatefold cover with the foldout side shaped in the form of a toilet bowl lid. It has been issued on SRML 6090. Keyboardist Roberto Carlotto, whose nickname was Hunka Munka, had previously played with Anonima Sound in 1970, before entering a solo career starting from 1971's first single. His only solo album, Dedicato a Giovanna G., with his outrageous cover, is a prog album, obviously dominated by Hunka's keyboards and odd tremelo voice. Among the backing musicians were drummer Numzio "Cucciolo" Favia from Osage Tribe and guitarist Ivan Graziani, that had also played in Anonima Sound before leaving for a successful solo career. The album contains 11 short tracks, two of which also released on single. A good moment for the prog fans is the opening Nasce un giorno, the album's longest track with good organ playing. Carlotto later joined Dik Dik for a short time, again with drummer Cucciolo and still plays with him now as "Carlotto & Cucciolo".
