Born in Turin, Rosso's parents had attempted to send him to university, but at 19 he chose the trumpet over academia, and left home. After his employment in a nightclub was terminated by the police, he returned home, but soon after departed again to relaunch his career. He soon became one of the best-known jazz trumpeters in Italy, reaching the crest of his popularity in the 1960s. He became known in the UK in 1962 when his recording of "Concerto Disperato" was covered by Ken Thorne and his Orchestra and became a hit under the title "The Theme from 'The Legion's Last Patrol'". Rosso's original was quickly released on the little-known Durium label and also made the charts, but was less successful than the bland cover version. His 1965 worldwide hit "Il Silenzio" went to #1 in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and sold over ten million copies. He also acted in the 1960s.
Rosso died of a tumor in 1994.
La Ballata Della Tromba
Nini Rosso Lyrics

Intocable
Yo Daria La Vida Por Ti
Written by Maria Luisa G. Ramirez
Yo daria la vida por ti
Y se me hace poca cosa
Si vivir a tu lado es vivir
Con un poco de tu amor
Y un poquito de mi
Se hace tanto tanto
Que no cabe en mi alma
Tanta felicidad
Y me causa llanto
Mirame a los ojos y veras
Que te quiero a ti
Como te quiero a ti
Como a nadie mas
Buscame en tu alma y sentiras
Que me quieres tambien
Que me llevas en ti
Que siempre me amaras
Porque vale la pena querernos
Porque vale la vida y mas
El mundo y todas sus cosas
Nuestro amor vale mas
The lyrics of "La Ballata Della Tromba," interpreted by Nini Rosso, convey a sense of longing and passion felt by the trumpet player, who uses his instrument to communicate his emotions. The song has no lyrics, but the melody is intense and evocative, abundant in a range of dynamic and alternating tempos. The momentous crescendos followed by sudden decelerations are deliberate, lending the music its dramatic and expressive quality.
The trumpet, the main instrument in the song, serves as an extension of the author's soul, capable of producing sounds that transform his feelings into music that can arouse emotions in the listener. The trumpet becomes part of the human voice in this context, creating a sense of conversation between the two parties. The song is also symbolic in that it can be seen as a metaphor for life, where the trumpet is a singular journey that is lived and appreciated by different people.

Questo successo di Nini Rosso, musicista ormai quasi dimenticato, è un pezzo eccezionale. Oggi la musica è diventata rumore, testi demenziali, come i cervelli di coloro che li interpretano. Grazie Nini Rosso.

SACROSANTE PAROLE
@yoidoretennshi777
Lui veniva in Giappone abbastanza spesso negli anni 60 - 70 per il suo tour quando io ero ancora un bambino e si sentiva una parte di questa musica sulla TV ogni volta che veniva trasmessa la pubblicità dei suoi concerti nella mia provincia di Hokkaido includendo la mia città Sapporo. Alla fine non ci sono mai stato però i suoi ricordi sono fermamente rimasti incisi nella mia memoria. Nini Rosso è molto conosciuto alla mia generazione e a quelle più precedenti nel nostro paese...
@tompussina
Nini è stata una delle più grandi glorie della Musica Italiana. Io lo ascolto ormai da una vita. E' stato un artista straordinario e straordinariamente umile; naturalmente, come sempre, meno apprezzato nel suo Paese che all'estero. Grazie per averlo ricordato con questo video. Se lo merita davvero!
