Jalisse (Italian pronunciation: [ʒaˈlis]) is an Italian musical duo consisting of spouses Alessandra Drusian and Fabio Ricci, who have been performing together for 14 years.[when?]
Career
Drusian was a popular star in TV music and variety shows like Gran Premio, Luna di Miele and Bellezze al Bagno, and sings with top bands.
Ricci had his first album in 1987 with the band Vox Populi.
In 1997, Jalisse won the Sanremo Music Festival with the entry "Fiumi di parole" (lit. "Rivers Of Words") and went on to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997, where they reached the 4th place with 114 points. Gigi Vesigna, in his book Vox Populi, admitted that RAI, the Italian national TV network, and its managers, manipulated the votes in order to not make them win because the subsequent event in 1998 in Italy would have meant too much of an expense of money. After that, Italy returned to Eurovision only in 2011. Jalisse applied to represent San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 but were not chosen.
Return of Jalisse
In 2001–2002, Drusian debuted as an actress in the musical Emotions under the direction of Sergio Japino. Her husband, meanwhile, decided to leave the singing entirely to her and dedicate himself to their small label, Tregatti productions and printed music.
In 2004, she released the single "6 Desiderio" that was innovatively promoted: it became the soundtrack of a Roman taxi company that inserted their speaking voices and the bridge of the song in the call-center in addition to a one-month promotion in 70 vehicles. Poet and friend Norman Zoia came up with the statement "A taxi called desire"[clarification needed] which contributed to the naming of the "Taxi Music dei Jalisse" enterprise.
In spring 2005, the album Siedi e ascolta ("Sit and Listen"), along with the Siebenpunkt.com's release of "Edel", was released in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It contained two inedited songs, and a few completely revised songs from the previous album including a Spanish version of "Fiumi di parole", titled "Ríos de palabras", which was dedicated to their South American fans. They reached third place in the Baltic Song Contest, an international competition in Karlshamn, Sweden.
Their performances around Italy (Localitour of Italy) also became an occasion to promote cultural tourism for places where the performances took place, like the Region Lazio in 2004 and 2005.
On 1 February 2006 they were present at the Farnesina (MFA), along with then Minister Gianfranco Fini. They introduced their new song "Faith in love (Peter loves Halima)" for peace in the world with respect to religion and personal beliefs. The lyrics were the work of the Iraqi writer with Italian ancestry Younis Tawfik, a member of the Islamic Consult in Italy. The message was sent by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, the President of the Italian Republic, to embassies worldwide, the highest Italian authorities and Pope Benedict XVI. On 28 March 2006 they were received by Rabbi Chief Riccardo Di Segni of Jewish Community of Rome.
Their show The Art is Life was set up together with other artists from the Province of Treviso. It aims to show an alternative way of doing television, launching peace and social messages, and recalling the fundamental values of the family as the basis of life.
The 2006 tour group (Localitour d'Italia 2006) started in Oderzo on 26 May. In autumn the tour was interrupted due to the singer's second pregnancy.
In September 2011, Jalisse playing at the international exhibition Human Rights Tour 50º for the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International in Monselice. Guitar player and singer Carlo Zannetti played together on stage with Jalisse in several concerts, including this one, throughout 2011.
