Mina Anna Maria Mazzini (born 25 March 1940 in Busto Arsizio, Lombardy), known as Mina Mazzini or simply Mina. She is an Italian-Swiss singer and actress.
She was a staple of television variety shows and a dominant figure in Italian pop music from the 1960s to the mid-1970s, known for her three-octave vocal range the agility of her soprano voice, her ability to blend various musical styles, including pop, blues, jazz, and swin and her image as an emancipated woman.
In performance, Mina combined several modern styles with traditional Italian melodies and swing music, which made her the most versatile pop singer in Italian music.
Mina dominated the country’s charts for 15 years and reached an unsurpassed level of popularity. She has scored 79 albums and 71 singles on the Italian charts, with over 150 million records sold worldwide, making her the best-selling Italian musical artist.
Mina’s voice has distinctive timbre and great power. Her main themes are anguished love stories performed in high dramatic tones.
The singer combined classic Italian pop with elements of blues, R&B and soul music during the late 1960s, especially when she worked in collaboration with the singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti.
Top Italian songwriters created material with large vocal ranges and unusual chord progressions to showcase her singing skills, particularly “Brava” by Bruno Canfora (1965) and the pseudo-serial “Se telefonando” by Ennio Morricone (1966).
The latter song was covered by several performers abroad. Shirley Bassey carried Mina’s ballad “Grande grande grande” to charts in the U.S., UK, and other English-speaking countries in 1973.
Mina’s easy listening duet “Parole parole” was turned into a worldwide hit by Dalida and Alain Delon in 1974.
Mina gave up public appearances in 1978 but has continued to release popular albums and musical projects on a yearly basis to the present day.
