Neri per Caso explained

Neri per Caso are an Italian a cappella musical group.

Career

The group formed in Salerno as Crecason in 1991 and consisted of six elements: Diego and Ciro Caravano (brothers), their cousins Mimì and Gonzalo Caravano (also brothers), Mario Crescenzo and Massimo De Divitiis.[1] The group's name was changed after they met songwriter and producer Claudio Mattone, who saw them performing in Rome all "dressed in black" (in Italian "Neri"). When he asked them why they picked that color and they said it happened purely "by chance" (in Italian "per caso"). In 1995 they won the newcomers section at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Le ragazze".[2] [3] Their debut album became platinum after just one week[4] and eventually sold over 700,000 copies.[5] In 1996 they returned to the Sanremo Festival, this time entering the main competition with the song "Mai più sola", and ranked fifth.[6] The subsequent album, Strumenti, sold over 250,000 copies.[7] In 2014 Diego Caravano left the group, being replaced by Moris Pradella,[8] who was replaced by Daniele Blaquier the following year.
