Righeira is an Italo Disco duo from Turin, Italy. The group was founded in 1981 by Stefano Rota and Stefano Righi. They became famous in continental Europe for their single Vamos A La Playa (Let's Go To The Beach), composed together with Carmelo and Michelangelo La Bionda[1] and released in 1983. Differing from the consensus that the song has none or little depth, the song's content is rather serious and addresses the danger of atomic bombs and the problem of beach pollution. The track reached #53 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
1984 a year later, it was followed up by their single No Tengo Dinero (Spanish: I Don't Have Money). Both singles were successful in the charts. L'estate Sta Finendo (The Summer Is Over), was released in 1985 and became a number one hit in Italy, but failed to peak the charts in other countries.
In 1986 the band participated in the San Remo Music Festival with their song Innamoratissimo (Most In Love) and placed #'15´th.
Toppin' high in 1987 with another Smash Hit: Oasi In Citta', a Voice succeeded Synth Pop track including Sega sound samples [Known from many popular games released by the Corporation] & a beautiful tune of Sax, became an instant World Success. The Sax Solo has since been a reminding mark & sign of the song until present.
