Una zebra a pois

"Una zebra a pois" is a song written by Lelio Luttazzi, Dino Verde and Marcello Ciorciolini. In 1960, the song was recorded and released as a single by singer Mina. The song was not a great success, peaking at number eighteen on the Italian chart for one week. The song "Mi vuoi lasciar" written by Nicola Salerno and Mansueto De Ponti was used as a B-side. Mina also recorded this song in English and Spanish.

Critical reception

Claudio Milano from Ondarock in a retrospective review called "Una zebra a pois" a "real miracle," and that Luttazzi offers an arrangement worthy of the greatest classics of American song. He also noted the complex structure of the composition, which requires Mina to have a truly important ability to perform, comparing her to Yma Sumac. "Mina seems to literally fly on the song, she lives the rhythm as something inherent to her system," Milano wrote.
