Apulia, Italy (2000 – present)

Caparezza is the pseudonym of Michele Salvemini. He was born in Molfetta in 1973 in the same day as John Lennon, 9th of October. Now Caparezza is a famous Apulia, Italyn per. His skill is the groom music, like the style of Frank Zappa who Caparezza consider his “teacher”. Because of this the fans call him “the Beppe Grillo of music”; in fact, like Beppe Grillo, Caparezza criticizes the society by a pungent irony in contexts what are sometimes fantastic and unreal. At first Caparezza looks like nonsensical because he uses many strange metaphors and above all because he has disowned the mainstream of ; so he appears a nonconformist refused by the most part of Italy. In his four albums there is all: anger and at the same time desire of redemption, nostalgia, love, guilt, but especially a wish for change. This aspect is particularly evident in his first album, where the artist disown and nearly refuses his past, when he was Mikimix, because he was incoherent compared to now. But Caparezza has much talent, unfortunately wasted today.

Caparezza’s mother was a teacher and his dad was a worker who used to play in a group, so Michele has played since he was a child. He studied accountancy, even if he wanted to write comics. After the end of high school, Michele began to work in advertising, and won a scolarship for Accademy of Milan, but later he decided to dedicate completely to the music. Michele started his career with the name of Mikimix, and he composed melodic songs with poor artistic value and without success.
