Overview

edit

"Moliendo café" is the cover of a song written by Hugo Blanco in 1958 (see Moliendo Café). The song was released as one of the singles from the album, becoming the number one for Mina on the Italian chart.[7] "Chi sarà" is the Italian version of the Spanish mambo song "¿Quién será?", composed by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz in 1953. The track "Giochi d'ombre" was the main theme song of the film Leoni al sole, directed by Vittorio Caprioli in 1961.
