realityisalways Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Or at least 10 seconds of it... Ok so, Raffaella Carra is this huge italian Icon from the 70s, 80s and 90s, she is basically the world's first 'female pop star', if we were to consider the definition of today. Raffaella had this controversial (for it's time) dance called the 'Tuca, Tuca' (Touch, touch) and I think part of the MDNA choreography for 'Candy Shop/Erotica' is inspired by it. For those who think I am reaching, you must know Madonna knows who Raffaella is, as she went to her show in Italy to promote the 'Music' album. Now, I am not blaming Madonna for 'copying' since obviously this is the choreographer's inspiration. Raffaella is known as a huge gay Icon worldwide til this day (One of the latest Bob Sinclair hits was a remake of her classic 'A Far L'Amore Comincia Tu) and I'm sure Madonna's choreographer knows her work. I think it's a cute wink at vintage pop culture. Now compare: This is the Tuca Tuca at 1:13 Now check Madonna and Brahim's dance at 6:57 [media=] See the similarities?

Guest Fukujima Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 this bitch is a super iconic italian singer very well known in Italy, Spain and South America with the only exception of maybe Brazil and few more countries. At her peak she was successfull in Germany, Austria and some eastern european countries too. I am sure this coreography was intentionally created similar to Raffaella's one. Also, and i am sorry to bring up her name here, i guess Lady Gaga was inspired by her too as her best friend is Nicola Formichetti ( he used to be Gaga's stylist & he designs for Thierry Mugler ) who mentioned Raffaella as one of his inspirations. here's the video where Madonna and Raffaella met during the Music's promotion in Europe [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUREdAzzRtM&feature=related[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUREdAzzRtM&feature=related[/media] The part with Brahim in Candy Shop/Erotica is def inspired by that Carrà signature move. I can't recall anyone else doing that kind of move other than said Italian TV presenter, show woman, singer bla blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think it's a cute wink at vintage pop culture. Now check Madonna and Brahim's dance at 6:57 [media=] Definetly a nice wink from a gay icon to another (albeit more local and of a past era), she is one of the most famous Italian faces in some countries of the world. The only Italians more famous worldwide might be Sophia Loren, Miuccia Prada, Donatella Versace, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Monica Bellucci to some degree, Laura Pausini (same) and unfortunately Silvio Berlusconi .... oh and yes Leonardo Da Vinci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
