Ama Romanta/Louie Louie
Pop Dell’Arte‘s debut album “Free Pop“, already with Luís San Payo on drums, is published in December 1987, by Ama Romanta. This work includes several classics of the band such as “Berlioz”, “Rio Line”, “Avanti Marinaio” and “Bladin”, as well as “Juramento Sem Bandeira” where João Peste sings in a duet with Adolfo Luxúria Canibal dos Mão Morta. The Blitz newspaper, in 1987, placed it only in 10th position in the list of the best Portuguese albums of that year. However, later, in 2010, the same newspaper placed the same record among the top 10 in the 1980s.
Controversies have always been present throughout the history of Pop Dell’Arte.
