Papik - Papik Presents Cocktail Mina (2015)

After three albums recorded as Papik and having being in charge of producing albums for Ely Bruna, Matteo Brancaleoni, Neja and Fred Buccini, the great passion for Nerio ‘Papik' Poggi are the tribute albums dedicated to his inspirational music myths.
The first project came out two years ago and was dedicated to the great singer and composer 'Bruno Martino’, a fantastic album called ‘Cocktail Martino’.

This new work is dedicated to the greatest Italian singer of all times, Mina Mazzini, best known as ‘Mina’.

Mina is an unbeatable performer known all around the world for her vocal skills and for the vastness of her recordings. Back from 1950 to date, her Albums are constantly in the Italian charts and are exported in a large number of foreign countries.

The choice of songs from her immense catalogue was not easy for Papik, who tried to select not only the most classic songs but also some lesser-known gems.
Among the most classic: Parole parole, Le 1000 bolle blu, Grande grande grande, L’importante è finire, La banda e Città vuota (also in English) and the most peculiar : Ancora un uomo, Improvvisamente, Brivido Felino, Io innamorata, Non credere, Neve.
