Sicilian siblings behind the 1978 international hit "One For You, One For Me."
For their signature sound, start with "One For You, One For Me." To hear their range, try "Moonlight Palais" or "A Moment In Sunshine."
La Bionda's 1978 album "Bandido" gave them their commercial breakthrough, anchored by the international hit "One For You, One For Me." That song became their calling card, but their catalog shows a wider range, from the disco pulse of "Moonlight Palais" to the pop-rock feel of "Hey Woman" and the atmospheric "Deserts Of Mars." They even collaborated with Italian star Mina on "Ancora," which speaks to their place in that era's scene.
Carmelo and Michelangelo La Bionda formed the duo in 1973 in Sicily. After some modest Italian releases, their 1978 album "Bandido" broke through internationally with "One For You, One For Me." They kept performing through the 1980s and 1990s, though new material slowed down after their peak.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
