Evy

Evy (Evelyn Lenton Verrecchia) was one of the few beat singers and performers active in Italy during the sixties. She's grow up in France, and she started her career as a singer there. When she arrived in Italy she started to publish some traditional song ("Giochi proibiti"), arriving soon after to the beat genre with "protest songs" as "L'abito non fa il beatnik" (it's not enough to dress as a beatnik) and "Domani il mondo sarĂ  nelle nostre mani" ("the world will be ours tomorrow", a song about "women liberation", many years in advance). She remained in the world of music in the following decades, working in England and in France.
