The Italian showbiz icon recorded the song in 1977 for the record label CGD, and she sang it not in Italian, but in Spanish. The title simply means \u201eparty\u201c or \u201ecelebration\u201c; in Spain, the single earned the singer a gold record.<\/p>\n<p>Almost fifty years later, \u00abFiesta\u00bb is one of the songs people immediately associate with Carr\u00e0. It was a hit in Italy, Spain, Canada, and Argentina; it took her on tour to South America in 1979; and in 2020, the entire cast of the Spanish film musical \u00abExplota Explota\u00bb sang it as the grand finale.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

By the mid-1970s, she had long been a star of the major Saturday night television shows in Italy; in 1975, she made her first appearance on the Spanish television network TVE. She wrote her songs with a close-knit team: Gianni Boncompagni, the radio and television host, was her partner for ten years and wrote the lyrics for many of her hits. The music was mostly composed by pianist and composer Franco Bracardi and arranged and conducted by Paolo Ormi.<\/p>\n<p>For \u00abFiesta,\u00bb the team brought in a Spaniard. Luis G\u00f3mez-Escolar, a lyricist from Le\u00f3n born in 1949, wrote the Spanish lyrics together with Boncompagni. Ormi arranged the song and played guitar, piano, and percussion himself, while Enzo Restuccia played drums. Boncompagni produced the track.<\/p>\n<p>The album *Fiesta* was released in September 1977 by the Milan-based record label CGD; the single, featuring \u00abA far l\u2019amore comincia tu\u00bb on the B-side, was released that same year. On the Italian edition as well, Carr\u00e0 sings the title track in Spanish. In Spain, the album was released by CBS and reached No. 4 on the album charts; the single was certified gold there. In Canada, a separate version with French lyrics was released\u2014Carr\u00e0\u2019s only album adaptation in that language. In 1979, the promotional tour for the album took her to Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Mexico, among other places.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABFiesta%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abFiesta\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abFiesta\u00bb tells the story of a woman who has been abandoned but doesn't make a tragedy out of it. Instead of mourning the loss of her man, she throws a party, and it is at that very party that a new love begins.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what makes the song so appealing. It sounds like pure party music, but it tells a little story of emancipation. The woman decides for herself when the crying is over. For many fans in Spain and Latin America, \u00abFiesta\u00bb has therefore become an anthem of joy and freedom, and in the queer community\u2014which reveres Carr\u00e0 as an icon\u2014it remains to this day one of those songs that gets everyone on their feet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the full Spanish lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here, we're focusing on the visuals. Right at the beginning, the singer announces that her life will change starting tonight. She has no intention of being left alone and abandoned.<\/p>\n<p>Then she looks back. She thinks of tears she\u2019s shed and kisses she\u2019s wasted. Her ex-partner blamed her for the end of the relationship and demanded his freedom back. The chorus is her response: a wild party that she\u2019s deliberately celebrating without him. The word <em>fiesta<\/em> It comes up so often that it sticks in your mind after just one listen.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle section, a new man appears. He looks at her tenderly; the two talk about honesty, falling in love, and freedom, and she feels happy again for the first time. In the end, she realizes that she has found his love at this very party of all places. What began as defiant partying thus becomes a genuine new beginning.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>On July 6, 2021, one day after Carr\u00e0\u2019s death, Spain and Italy faced off in the semifinals of the European Soccer Championship. The Spanish sports newspaper *Marca* turned the match into a tribute to the singer, using a line from the chorus of \u00abFiesta\u00bb as its headline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wie_klingt_%C2%ABFiesta%C2%BB\"><\/span>What does \u00abFiesta\u00bb sound like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Musically, \u00abFiesta\u00bb blends 1970s Eurodisco with Latin American pop. The beat is steady and danceable, and Ormi\u2019s arrangements layer handclaps, Spanish guitars, and trumpets on top of it. The result sounds less like a disco in Milan and more like a village festival in Andalusia.<\/p>\n<p>This blend appealed to Carr\u00e0's growing audience in Spain and Latin America. \u00abFiesta\u00bb was the perfect song for this: composed in Italian, sung in Spanish, and so easy to clap along to that it was understood everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABFiesta%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abFiesta\u00bb on Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the very top of the post is the 1977 video clip featuring the studio recording.
