Fellini | en
Fellini was one the most notorious São Paulo underground acts from the mid-80's. They recorded some of the most notable lo-fi albums of the period. Fellini was made up of journalist Cadão Volpato on vocals and multi-instrumentalist and journalist Thomas Pappon (also from Smack and formerly of Voluntários da Pátria) plus Ricardo Salvagni and Jayr Marcos. They fused European post punk influences with electro bossa, drum machine patterns and synths. Fellini released 5 albums, 3 on Baratos Afins, and 1 on Wop Bop and one on Rio de Janeiro's independent label Midsummer Madness Records. .
Ric Fellini is an alias for Gianni Coraini, also known as, Ken Laszlo, who put his voice on the tune "Welcome To Rimini".
The single was arranged and produced by G. Panarietto, Giuliano Crivellente and Mauro Farina.
Other works were "Stop and Go" and "Souvenir D'Amour". .
Formed 1991 in San Francisco by Kevin Carnes, drums/sampler (Beatnigs, UAF), David Boyce, tenor/soprano saxophone, efx, synth, spoken word, and Kirk Peterson, electric bass. The Fellinis play a soulful and aggressive style of post modern improvised/composed jazzical sound that is informed by dub, afro beat, abstract funk, drumnbass, hardcore/psych/prog rock and film soundtracks (the darker and more atmospheric the better)
The group has been profiled on NPR and BET in the US and on Radio Nova in France. They've traveled to Spain to perform at the San Sebastian International Jazz Festival and to British Columbia for the du Maurier festival....
