Plurale


Plurale is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in 1976 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana. It was originally distributed as a double album with Singolare.

Overview

The peculiarity of the album is that it was entirely recorded with the technique of the subsequent overdubbing of a single voice of Mina, which with its three octaves of extension gave the possibility of creating vocal formations ranging from the trio to the sixteen-voice choir. The album became Mina's most expensive record at that time, but above all, it was also one of the very first albums that made the most of the overdubbing technique and emphasized the human voice as an instrument. This album is contrasted with Singolare, where only one voice of Mina is heard.
In 1977 the album won first prize at the XV Italian Music Critics Awards. On 29 December 2021 an episode of the TV program 33 Giri – Italian Masters was shown, which was entirely dedicated to the album Plurale.
