Toto kutuno brief biography

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. For them, he wrote his first songs, and later he himself began to perform them from the stage. In the photo: Toto Kutuno phenomenon of its popularity outside native Italy is amazing. Kutuno songs were annually sounded at the festival in San Remo, not only in his performance, but also spent by other popular artists, including Ray Charles and the Ricci E Poveri group.

Childhood, youth, the Toto family full name - Salvatore was born in the summer of the year in the family of Domenico and Olga Kutuno, who lived at that time in the Italian town of Phosdinovo. Dad was a naval sailor, mom was engaged in a house and children, of which four grew up in the family. Once one of the sisters died by tragic accident - choked during meals.

The death of the girl made a little treasure on a little Toto, as if he had matured and became serious at once. He remained his brother Roberto, who later became the owner of the security agency, and Rosan’s sister, a housewife who gave the famous brother of two nephews. A few years after the birth of Toto, his father was sent to the service in the port city of Spices. The boy spent all his free time on the shore of the Ligurian Sea and fell in love with its beauty.

Toto Kutuno in his youth in the center thanks to dad, he was also fond of playing musical instruments since childhood. Domenico played perfectly on the pipe and even created an amateur team in which seven -year -old Kutuno was sitting at the shock unit. Later, Toto mastered the accordion and the guitar and began to compose his first songs. When Kutuno turned 13, he became a member of the Competition of the accordionists and took third place.

Parents, of course, rejoiced at the musical success of their son, but believed that he should have a serious profession. The future artist thought differently: I think that it is never worth imposing their opinions on the children, to insist that they become exactly those whom you want to see in them. With the children you just need to be near, share experience and give love, you need to give the child confidence and protect it to some extent, but most importantly - he must fly on his wings.

To reassure his parents, after school, Salvatore entered the Economic Lyceum and received the specialty of the accountant. Only he was not going to pour over the information of Debit and the loan. At the university, he became interested in jazz music, learned to play a saxophone, mastered the piano. Kutuno's creative path was 19 years old when he got into the G-UNIT group, which was led by the popular Italian jazzman Guido Manuzardi.

With her, Toto went to the Scandinavian countries on his first tour and was amazed at the success of their concerts. The performances of the guys at various sites of Italy did not bring much success to them, since they performed other people's “promoted” songs, and there were many similar groups in the country. At one of the performances, he met the poet Vito Pallavichini, with whom he created a creative tandem.

One of their joint songs was the famous Africa. A song about a black American dreaming of leaving for his homeland was heard by the producer of the famous French singer Joe Dassen Jacques shoulder and arranged a meeting of Toto and Joe. The song glorified Toto as a composer, and made them with Dassen friends. Kutuno often began to come to Dassen in his Parisian estate. In the wake of their success, other pop stars began to turn to the young Italian composer.

Many songs written by Kutuno for other performers became hits with his group Toto for the first time in the year performed at the San Remo festival with the Volo Az song, which took third place. The next year, Albatros was only the fifth with the composition of Gran Premio, which was an unpleasant surprise for the composer. The group broke up, Toto quarreled with Vito, because he began to claim that it was he who made a star from Kutuno, allegedly without his connections, he would not make it to the heights of glory.

For several years, the composer went into the shadow for several years and only in the year success returned to him with the Solo Noi song, which he first wrote for Celentano. But Adriano refused to fulfill it, and Kutuno himself spoke in San Remo, taking first place. In the same year, he became the winner at the Tokyo music festival. A year later, the album of the performer La Mia Musica in three languages ​​- Spanish, French and English came out.

The first song was put in the first place in popular vote, although only the fifth became based on the results of the general offset. And again, Celentano, who refused to sing her, although Toto at first proposed the composition to him. Almost thirty performances in Leningrad and Moscow visited a little less than half a million spectators. The singer admitted later: in the year he gave fifteen concerts in Moscow at once.

Big people came to each. Mikhail Gorbachev, football player Lev Yashin ... Yashin gave me a soccer ball. Therefore, I remembered him.

And Alla Pugacheva invited to visit. Alla then had another husband. Not the guy who is next to her now. I don’t know who prepared then, but everything was very tasty! Vodka on the table stood. I remember this, because I always drink vodka in Russia with pleasure.Subscribed, Toto announced that this was his last festival. And in the same year, at Eurovision, with the song Insieme, he became a winner, and he was invited to the presenter for the next competition.

He was already under fifty, he really wanted the heir and begged Christina to give birth to a child who was born in the year. Nico the singer called "light in the window", often took it with him on tour and took care of as a hen. Carla resigned her husband's heart no longer belongs to her. And she was constantly nearby when the artist found a oncological disease. The disease receded after surgery and chemotherapy, but since then, Kutuno carefully monitored his health, walked a lot and was engaged in swimming.

The last years of his life and death at the sunset of years, the artist, together with his family, lived in a villa in a small Genoese fishing town Portofino, still delighting fans with his performances.
