Who?Ranfa,
very rare species of singer, was born in Florence in 1969, tries to go to
school and he goes there...running! As a matter of fact, sport
would be his first love, an activity in which he excels, as a young boy. Questions? 70 kilos of flesh stretching for 1,78m height
(!?) who likes, besides singing: drawing, cuddling his kids (Diego, Mirko and
Viola), reading comics, and sweating… while he teaches
‘spinning’ it’s his second or, perhaps, third job! A little bit of history... He start his activity as a singer in 1988, he tries his hand at singing
west coast music and covers of the Queen. Afterwards
he approaches different musical genres among which blues, funky, disco
music, musical (he is Jesus in Jesus
Christ Superstar, and Rocky in the Rocky Horror Show). But
it’s in the Hard Rock genre that he can better express his singing
qualities: he is finally able to perform songs which suits him completely
... a tenor repertoire at last !!! On the 14th April 2005 he had the honour of singing "Here I go
again" with the “real” guitarrists of the Whitesnake:
Moody & Marsden! He has founded and sang for 6 years, from 1999 . With the Purple
Sucker, coverband of the Deep Purple, which has 50 concerts to
its credit. |
He
has recorded a track with Mr.IAN
PAICE
!!! The outcome will be soon on a cd, in which you can also find a great
duet with the fabulous voice of The
House of Lords, James Christian. The guitarrist (ex Whitesnake) Bernie
Marsden. The guitarrist (ex Ronnie James Dio) Tracy G and many other
musicians ....... To book the forthcoming cd, write to info@andrea-ranfa.com In

A bit of personal taste...
Voices which make him dream:
His 10 favourite albums (to bring on a desert island….) are:
LED ZEPPELIN II-Led zeppelin News of the world-Queen Burning
Japan Live-Glenn
Hughes Talking book-Stevie Wonder Here and there-Elton John A kind of magic-Queen Antologia-Mina
He’d like to perform with…
...with
unreachable myths, also because some of the are unfortunately departed …
sigh!!! The
order in which I put them it is not motivated by the tecnique used by
these musicians, but by the feelings they gave me and give me during their
performances. I
thank them all for the dreams they aroused and which are always in my mind,
everytime I sing...
