Minacantalucio (also referred as Mina Canta Lucio) is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in October 1975 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana.

Overview

The title translates as Mina Sings Lucio, referring to the album's consisting entirely of songs composed by Lucio Battisti (and originally recorded by him except for "L'aquila", originally performed by Bruno Lauzi). The album was also released as a double LP along with La Mina, and a large poster of Mina, painted by Piero Crida and inspired by Maxfield Parrish's work, was used as packaging.

Critical reception

Claudio Milano from OndaRock praised the album, especially its complex, avant-garde and very individual arrangements, associated with a voice that refuses all condescension. He also stated that this album is a "pearl" and the best tribute to Battisti.
