Elio e le Storie Tese acquired national notoriety after their second-place finish at the Sanremo Music Festival 1996 with the song "La terra dei cachi", a humorous take on Italian lifestyle.〔〔 They also won the Critics' Award "Mia Martini" for their performance. In 1999, they were awarded as Best Italian Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards, and in 2003 they won the Best Italian Videoclip award at the Italian Music Awards of Federation of the Italian Music Industry for "Shpalman®".〔 In 2001, they were elected as the best group band of the 2001–2010 decade through a referendum announced by the website Rockol. In 2012, the album ''Elio samaga hukapan kariyana turu'' has been ranked the 15th best Italian album of all time by the magazine ''Rolling Stone''. The group participated to the Sanremo Music Festival for the second time in the 2013 edition with the song "La canzone mononota", achieving again the second place and winning the Critics' Award "Mia Martini" for the second time, the award for the best arrangement and the Radio and TV Press-Room award. ==History== The origins of Elio e le Storie Tese go back to 1970s, when Stefano Belisari (Elio), Luca Mangoni and Marco Conforti (Sergio's brother and future manager of the group) were classmates in a high school in Milan.〔 The first line-up made a debut in Milan in 1980, and it was composed by Elio on guitar, Paolo Cortellino on bass and Pier Luigi Zuffellato on drums. Cortellino was then replaced firstly by Fabio Gianvecchio (Chiosco), later by Dario Mazzoli (Scaffale), and finally, in 1985, by Nicola Fasani (Faso). In the meantime, Zuffellato had left the group, and was replaced by Vittorio Cosma until 1982, when, after EelST were joined by the pianist Sergio Conforti (Rocco Tanica), the role of drummer was filled by a Drumulator operated by Rocco Tanica himself until 1988, when a Swiss drummer called Christian Meyer joined the group.〔 At the beginning, Elio was singer and guitarist, but in 1984 the group hired the rock guitarist Davide Civaschi (Cesareo). From that moment on, Elio could focus on being the front-man, and, sparingly, play the Western concert flute, for which he had passed the music academy's examination.〔 In 1988, the group was also joined by the multi-instrumentalist Paolo Panigada (Feiez),〔〔 who passed away ten years later.〔 In 1992, Elio decided to include the architect and former classmate Mangoni in the band. Mangoni, described in the official website as "artist and architect",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://elioelestorietese.it/english-bio/ )〕 will have various roles, such as dancing and singing during live performances.〔 The first studio album, ''Elio samaga hukapan kariyana turu'' was published in 1989, and it was followed by ''The Los Sri Lanka Parakramabahu Brothers Featuring Elio e le Storie Tese'' (1990), ''İtalyan, rum casusu çikti'' (1992), ''Esco dal mio corpo e ho molta paura: Gli inediti 1979–1986'' (1993), ''Eat the Phikis'' (1996), ''Peerla'' (1998), ''Craccracriccrecr'' (1999), ''Cicciput'' (2003), ''Studentessi'' (2008) and ''L'album biango'' (2013). During their long carrier, EelST have been awarded several prizes, in particular two second-place finishes at the Sanremo Music Festival (1996 and 2013)〔〔 and two Critics' Award "Mia Martini".〔〔 In March 2014, Elio e le Storie Tese presented six episodes of ''Il Muschione'', a comedy musical show on Rai 2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elio e le Storie Tese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
