I Cugini di Campagna ("The Countryside Cousins") is an Italian pop band formed in 1970 in Rome. They are well known for the use of falsetto and for their eccentric look, a cross between glam and kitsch.[1]
The band achieved some success with its first single, "Il ballo di Peppe", that was launched by the radio-program Alto Gradimento in 1970.[2] In 1973 the band gained more success with the song "Anima mia", then they achieved a series of commercial hits until the early eighties.[1][3] After a difficult period the band resurfaced in 1997, with a new lineup, thanks to the RAI TV-show Anima mia, whose success lead to the rediscovery of their eponymous song and the band as a whole.[2]
Since then Cugini di Campagna have produced a series of albums, containing both re-arranged versions of their earlier hits as well as new material.
On 4 December 2022, it was officially announced their participation in the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.[5] "Lettera 22" was later announced as their entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.[6]
