La terra dei cachi

"La terra dei cachi" is a 1996 single by Elio e le Storie Tese.

Thanks to a live performance of this song, which represents a humorous take on Italian lifestyle, Elio e le Storie Tese acquired national notoriety by achieving a second-place finish at the Sanremo Music Festival 1996.

A total of four versions of the single have been released: "La terra dei cachi live in Sanremo", "La terra dei cachi – Prezioso remix", "La terra dei cachi (The Rimini Tapes)", rearranged in a liscio version and featuring the Casadei Orchestra, and "La terra dei cachi", a promo single studio version of the song.
