abstract
  • Gente di mare was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, performed by Umberto Tozzi & Raf. The song is a blues-influenced ballad, in which the singers describe the qualities of the "people of the sea". They describe themselves as "people of the plain", who are "prisoners of this city", while contrasting that with the freedom of the people of the sea "who leave it behind". The song was performed seventh on the night, following Sweden and preceding Portugal. At the close of voting, it had received 103 points, placing 3rd. The song was pushed over the 100-point mark in the last 3 rounds of voting thanks to 2 sets of 12-point scores from Ireland and Yugoslavia, and a good score from Switzerland. While not winning the Contest the song achieved considerable popularity, becoming a Top 10 hit in most parts of Continental Europe and Scandinavia in the summer of 1987 (#7 Switzerland, #8 Austria, #6 Sweden) and was included on the compilations of Winners and Classics produced to coincide with the Congratulations special in late 2005. Tozzi has performed the song several times with 1987 winner Johnny Logan in concerts, with the latter performing Raf's parts.
