Song information

[edit | edit source]

The song was written by Amanda Lear and Italian composers Cristiano Malgioglio, Stefano Gori and Marcello "Layter" Scichilone. It is an uptempo pop track with minor latin and rock elements, arranged by Alberto Radius of Italian band Formula 3, and produced by Malgioglio and Radius.

"Ritmo Salsa" was the theme song of Italian TV show W le donne which Amanda started hosting in October 1984 on Canale 5.[1] It played during end credits in the first season of the show. The single was released by Five Record in Italy only, with the English-Italian song "Hotel Palace" on side B. The cover photo of the single was taken by Amanda's then-husband, Alain-Philippe Malagnac.
