Plus, an extended tribute to one of our favorite vocalists, who sadly left us this week. We work hard for the mixtape. New! Listen to (most of) the mixtape on Spotify! 1. "P

Oggi L’ora cult (rubrica che potete leggere anche sul consigliatissimo sito L'ora blu ) si occuperà di un film che è un cult per molti. Per chi? Per Nanni Moretti , ad esempio, che in Caro Diario confessa: “In realtà il mio sogno è sempre stato quello di saper ballare bene.
