Well since you have mentioned it, I checked his background and ironically there seems to be an Albanian connection indeed. :cool:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albano_Carrisi

Albano Carrisi (Italian: [alˈbaːno karˈriːzi]; born 20 May 1943), better known as Al Bano, is an Italian singer, actor, and winemaker. In 2016, he was awarded Albanian citizenship due to his close ties with the country.[1]

He was born in the town of Cellino San Marco (province of Brindisi, Puglia in Southern Italy), where he still lives.

His mother Iolanda Ottino named him Albano because, when he was born, his father Carmelo Carrisi was fighting in Albania for the Royal Italian Army during World War II. He has one brother, Franco Carrisi (Kocis).

He made his debut in 1966 both as a singer, at the Festival delle Rose, and on television. He won the Disco per l'Estate, an Italian song contest, with "Pensando a te" in 1968. He recorded some major hits such as "La siepe" and "Nel sole" at that time. "Nel sole" sold 600,000 copies in Italy within three months of release in 1967, and eventually over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc in July 1968.[2]


Just for the record, Romina Power is daughter of American actor Tyrone Power and a Mexican mother of Spanish, Dutch and French descent.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romina_Power

Romina Francesca Power (born 2 October 1951) is an American born Italian actress and singer born in Los Angeles. She was part of the very successful musical duo Al Bano and Romina Power, together with her then-husband Albano Carrisi.

Born in Los Angeles, Romina Power is the eldest daughter of American screen idol Tyrone Power and his second wife, Mexican actress Linda Christian. After her parents divorced in 1956, she and her younger sister Taryn lived with their mother in various places, mainly in Mexico and Italy where she and her sister spent much of their childhood, although Romina attended college in England.[1]

Her interest in music was evoked in her childhood by American musicals from the 1950s, Mexican Mariachi bands and Italian music from the 1960s. In her early teens, Power discovered The Beatles and Bob Dylan, which inspired her to compose music. After receiving a guitar as a birthday gift, she learned chords and wrote her first songs.

She appeared in several mainly Italian-language films from the age of 14, including the 1968 adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's novel Justine, directed by Jesus Franco.

Is this an Italian version of Sonny and Cher?

[Odin]

Al: Dinaro-Med.
Romina: Alpine-Med.

[Sebastianus Rex]

Is this an Italian version of Sonny and Cher?

No, it's better and with a different (more pop and dancing) sonority.

[Sebastianus Rex]

Al: Dinaro-Med.
Romina: Alpine-Med.

I belive Al is Dinaro-Alpine and Ro is Alpinized Atlantid, if you see the video you will have a clearer notion of her.

She looks like she might have some mixed ancestry, but I am not sure.

Not an ethnical connection!! NONE. If you have red well, his father was fighting for Italy in Albania during Word war II when Carrisi was born. This is why his mother named him Albano...... please don't be silly.





Just for the record, Romina Power is daughter of American actor Tyrone Power and a Mexican mother of Spanish, Dutch and French descent.

Romina was named like that because his parents married in Rome in a stunning and very crowded ceremony which mobilized all the international press. Romina Francesca Power, her second name is due to the Church where his parents married: Santa Francesca Romana.
Romina's mother: (Linda Christian) true name: Blanca Rosa Welter was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, a daughter of Dutch engineer Gerardus Jacob Welter, and his Mexican-born wife, the former Blanca Rosa Vorhauer who was of Spanish, German and French descent (nothing mexican).

her father: Tyrone Power was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, son of Helen Emma "Patia" (née Reaume) and the English-born American stage and screen actor Tyrone Power Sr. his origins are of Irish, English, Scottish, Italian, German, French and French-Canadian descent. But surname Power/Powers is of hebrew origin.

In my opinion Romina (like for example Elizabeth Taylor) shows a lot of her hebrew origin, like her father.

It is not my opinion. It is the holocaust list of surnames

[Longobarda]

Also the surname Taylor is classified as follows: "Taylor is a surname used in the British Isles of French and Latin origin which originated as a Norman occupational surname (meaning tailor) in France. It is derived from the Old French tailleur ("cutter"), which is in turn derived from the Late Latin taliator, from taliare ("to cut"). The first historical evidence of the surname dates to the County of Somerset, South West England in 1182. "Taylor" is the fifth-most common surname in England, the 11th-most common in Scotland and the 22nd-most common in Wales"

When Elzabeth Taylor herself said she was hebrew....... and Taylor is an hebrew surname

The same happens with surname "Franco". A lot of explanations on his origin, nobility etc. but it is hebrew and nobody say it

I am not being silly, I quoted the article that explains that the connection is a sentimental one. Anyway it was a beautiful gesture from the Albanian government to concede Al the citinzenship.

Albano Carrisi looks 110% Italian by the way, unmistakable. ;)



In my opinion Romina (like for example Elizabeth Taylor) shows a lot of her hebrew origin, like her father.

I desigree about that amica, there's nothing about their physical appearance that may indicate Hebrew origin (going by the physical stereotypes), anyway the surname Power is not of Jewish origin, nor particularly highly represented among that ethnic group.

[Longobarda]

:lol:

HERALDRY IS NOT YOUR STRONG, BABY.

If you consult the "Name your Roots" which is the reference for "the Israel Today", you will see which are the hebrew surnames. And Franco IS hebrew. It exists also in Italy and Portugal, sephardi surname. He can be all the noble he wants, it does mean nothing to be noble.

Hebrews are not all large mouthed and long nosed. The ashkenazi, for example have european features. Does Liz Taylor look hebrew? But she is. There are other examples of common people I know that they had not the stereotype but were. I see for eample the deep of Romina's eyes and in his father are even more evident. Tyrone is a type that I've seen also in Spain and hece he has interpreted many times spanish or hispanic roles, like Zorro or some "torero".

For example, in this video at min. 2.05, a former boss of mine, italian but with hebrew descent/surname that has not the semite features (only dark skinned):

Please can some Italian and Spanish members stop fighting about everything and nothing ? It's ridiculous, so much more that we Latin peoples have in common that what separates us and in forums like this it seems to be totally the opposite. :picard1:

I think they even did shows (most likely in Spain or Latin America) singing in Spanish.

Another famous Italian singer Rafaella Carra used to do shows singing in Spanish too.

Most of the greatest names of Italian music (since the 60's/70's) had prolific careers in Spanish speaking countries and have their songs in Spanish versions (Albano & Romina are no exception). Some Spanish musicians did the reverse. And why ? Because their languages are so fucking similar, equally melodic and easily translated. Only some anthrosphere assholes insist on living in an alternative reality. :bleedingeyes::bleedingeyes:

Overreact much? Dinarid, Taurid, Armenid, who cares when it's not a pure type - you can't really tell the difference in this case. Taurid is just a broader term.

Alpinid is much more dominant.

I believe Romina and Albano were popular in all southern Europe at the peak of their career, early 80's.
Some listeners considered their songs too mushy and many critics rejected them but despite all this they had a loyal crowd of fans.
Agree with your view about the melodiousness (is there such a word?) of the latin languages in respect to singing. Really Latin users should focus on the things that bind them together :grouphug: instead of silly crap such as who is whiter and/or who has more blonde hair :wacko:

Sure, the kind of music our parents used to make babies. xD despite what music critics wrote at the time, today after 2 or 3 decades there's a revival/come back of 70's and 80's music, a nostalgia (in Portuguese we use the expression "saudade") of what music used to mean and how melodic it could be.

Of course it sounds spanish, it is spanish....... very spanish. But Perez was also a biblical tribe, for example. Now I don't remember well if he was the son of Tamar or his husband. I'm not too religious......

No she is not. Enough with the one drop Jewish bullshit. Soon you will be telling us the whole world is jewish because of suspected one drop "jewish" blood. Many askenazi are heavily admixed with European ethnicities. Liz Taylor is English who just happened to convert to Judaism.

Not only in Southern Europe. They are very well known also in Russia, in Japan, in US. Recently they have reunited to sing together (unfortunatly Albano redid his life with another woman after having suffered a lot until thinking to suicide, as he has recently confessed, and then as all men do in these cases, he turned the page, what she didn't) and the first concert where they were together after many years was in Russia.

Romina was named like that because his parents married in Rome in a stunning and very crowded ceremony which mobilized all the international press. Romina Francesca Power, her second name is due to the Church where his parents married: Santa Francesca Romana.
Romina's mother: (Linda Christian) true name: Blanca Rosa Welter was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, a daughter of Dutch engineer Gerardus Jacob Welter, and his Mexican-born wife, the former Blanca Rosa Vorhauer who was of Spanish, German and French descent (nothing mexican).

her father: Tyrone Power was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, son of Helen Emma "Patia" (née Reaume) and the English-born American stage and screen actor Tyrone Power Sr. his origins are of Irish, English, Scottish, Italian, German, French and French-Canadian descent. But surname Power/Powers is of hebrew origin.

In my opinion Romina (like for example Elizabeth Taylor) shows a lot of her hebrew origin, like her father.

Powers is a Norman Irish surname. It is very common in Ireland.

It was brought over to Ireland with the Norman invasion.

de PAOR—XII—Poer, Poor, Power; Norman 'le Pover,' 'le Pouer,' 'le Power,' 'le Poer,' 'le Poor,' i.e., the poor (Old French 'povre, paure,' Latin pauper), a sobriquet hardly bestowed because of ordinary poverty, which must always have been too common to be a mark of distinction, but probably, as Bardsley suggests, of poverty consequent on a vow. The ancestor of this family came to Ireland with Strongbow, from whom he obtained a grant of the territory of Waterford. In 1535, Sir Richard le Poer was created Baron of Curraghmore, but through failure of the male line, at the beginning of the 18th century, the estates of Curraghmore passed by marriage into the family of Beresford. The name is now very common and widespread, especially in Munster and Leinster.
