A Roman quartet that blended traditional melodies with four-part vocal arrangements in the 1970s and 80s.
Start with '22' to hear their international hit, then try 'Imagina' for their vocal harmonies. Their catalog holds up as gentle, melodic Italian pop.
Quadrante's 1978 single '22' became an international hit with its ballad about the passage of time, anchoring their album of the same name. Their sound mixed traditional Italian melodies with pop arrangements built around those four-part vocal harmonies. Songs like 'Invés' and 'Escolha Um Outro Alguém' maintained a steady following even after their 1994 disbandment.
The band formed in Rome in the early 1970s, releasing their self-titled debut in 1974 and 'Per un amico' in 1975. Their commercial breakthrough came with '22' in 1978, followed by albums like 'Terra' in 1980 and 'Storie di città' in 1981. They continued performing and recording through the 1980s before disbanding amicably in 1994.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
