This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jalisse''' (((IPA-it|ʒaˈlis))) is an [[Italians|Italian]] musical duo consisting of spouses '''Alessandra Drusian''' (born 18 May 1969) and '''Fabio Ricci''' (born 5 September 1965).

In [[Sanremo Music Festival 1997|1997]] they won the [[Sanremo Festival]], "Big" category, with the song "[[Fiumi di parole]]" and took part in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1997|Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin]], ranking 4th.

== Career ==

=== Beginnings ===
The two met for the first time in 1990 in the studio of a record company. Drusian in that period competed with numerous victories in musical competitions in [[Veneto]] and [[Friuli–Venezia Giulia]]; Ricci was the singer and keyboardist of a group called Vox Populi, with whom he had released a maxi-single entitled "I'm So Bad" and presented himself as a songwriter to the record companies.

From 1990 to 1993 Drusian, after being launched by [[Pippo Baudo]] in the TV program ''Grand Premio'', made a series of appearances on television broadcasts. In 1992 she found herself with Ricci: the two decided to work together and two years later they formes Jalisse, taking their name from a character in the television series ''[[The Cosby Show]]''. The poet Younis Tawfik later revealed ''jalisse'' (((lang|ar|جليس)) ''jalīs'') in Arabic means "diner who knows how to entertain in the tale of fables and music: sit, sit and listen".

In 1995 the duo participated in Sanremo Giovani (the [[Sanremo Festival]] competition for emerging artists) with the song "Vivo", finishing third in the second evening and acquiring the right to participate in the Sanremo Festival proper [[Sanremo Music Festival 1995|the following year]], where they ranked sixth in the "New proposals" section with the song "Liberami" ("Set Me Free").

=== 1997 Sanremo Festival and Eurovision Song Contest===
In [[Sanremo Music Festival 1997|1997]] they participated again at the Festival, once again by right, thanks to the rule, introduced two years before and present for the last time, which allowed the non-winning finalists of the "New Proposals" section of the previous edition to compete for 4 places among the "Champions". The song, "[[Fiumi di parole]]", passed the selection and ranked first in the event, getting the Jalisse two prizes: the Golden Lion as winners of the Festival and the Silver Lion as authors (Alessandra Drusian and Carmen Di Domenico for the lyrics, Fabio Ricci the music). This victory turned out to be among the most debated in the history of the Festival, for the controversial aftermath that followed. The song bore resemblance with "[[Listen to Your Heart (Roxette song)|Listen to Your Heart]]" by [[Roxette]], but no actions were taken in this regard because plagiarism was non-existent.

During the 1997 Sanremo week, the duo's debut album, ''Il cerchio magico del mondo'' ("The Magic Circle of the World"), was released. The result in terms of sales (50,000 copies) was below expectations, but due to the fact that the two had reached the Sanremo victory as unknown artists and with an unreleased album.

Two months later they took part in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1997]] in [[Dublin]] with the same song, reaching the fourth place; there were speculations of boycott from the national broadcaster [[RAI]], which revamped in 2009 when Gigi Vesigna, in his book ''Vox Populi'', stated that the defeat of Jalisse at the event had been driven by RAI: if the duo had won, the Italian public TV would have had to organize the 1998 edition, an operation deemed commercially disadvantageous given the scarce interest of the Italian audience for this event. Italy withdrew from the musical competition until 2011.

The following year, Jalisse submitted to the Sanremo Festival commission the song "Le cime del Tibet" ("The Tops of Tibet"), written and composed by Maurizio Fabrizio and Guido Morra, but it was discarded. Soon the duo was labeled as a "meteor" in Italy and belittled by the mass media which, among other things, played on the alleged plagiarism of "Fiumi di parole". In fact, thanks to the good placement at the Eurovision Song Contest, they began a series of concerts and tours abroad, including the [[United States of America]] ([[Boston]]), [[Canada]], [[Russia]] ([[Moscow]]) and [[Chile]] ([[Viña del Mar International Song Festival]]). In the meantime, the duo's record was included in the programming of [[United Airlines]] and chosen by [[Fred Bronson]] for ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' as one of the most interesting albums of 1997.

=== Decline and independent projects ===
In 2001–2002 Drusian debuted as an actress in the musical comedy ''Emozioni'' ("Emotions") directed by [[Sergio Japino]]. In the meantime, Ricci decided to leave the vocal parts of the songs to his wife and devoted himself to their small independent label, the Tregatti Produzioni Musicali.

In the spring of 2005, the album ''Siedi e ascolta'' ("Sit and Listen") was released in [[Germany]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Austria]], containing two unreleased tracks and some tracks from the previous album totally revisited, including a Spanish version of "Fiumi di parole" titled "Ríos de palabras". The record was promoted in Northern Europe and some extracts from it were included in compilations in [[Bulgaria]], the [[Czech Republic]], [[Slovakia]] and [[Poland]]. In [[Sweden]], they reached third place at the Baltic Song Contest in [[Karlshamn]]. The German magazine ''Für Sie'' distributed 600,000 copies with the compilation attached.

After the 2007 announcement of [[San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008|San Marino's first participation in the Eurovision Song Contest]] the following year, Jalisse immediately said they were ready to return by representing the country, and subsequently presented a song for internal selection to [[San Marino RTV]], which failed to be selected. The pair also took part in the selections for the [[Sanremo Music Festival 2007]], but their song "Linguaggio universale" ("Universal Language"), inspired by an essay by the Nobel Prize winner [[Rita Levi-Montalcini]], was rejected. In September 2007, they released the album ''Linguaggio universale'' attached to the book ''Istruzione, chiave dello sviluppo'' by the Rita Levi-Montalcini Foundation, published by [[Baldini & Castoldi]].

In November 2009, the duo collaborated with the Greek site ''Oikotimes.com'', analyzing the entries of the [[Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009|Junior Eurovision Song Contest of that year]]. They played the role of themselves in [[Fausto Brizzi]]'s film ''[[Many Kisses Later]]'', performing their signature song "Fiumi di parole". In 2012 they released the single "Tra rose e cielo" ("Between the Roses and the Sky"), written together with the Italian-Iraqi poet Younis Tawfik, who had escaped from the regime of [[Saddam Hussein]]. Two other singles were released later: "E se torna la voce" ("And If Voice Returns") in March 2013 and "Dove sei" ("Where You Are") in June 2013. On 26 March 2014, Drusian presented herself to ''[[The Voice of Italy]]'' but failed to be blind-chosen by any of the coaches.

In December 2016, ''The Best of Jalisse'' was released, with all of the duo's singles, and promoted it throughout 2017.

In 2018, they were among the competitors of the TV program ''Ora o mai più'', broadcast on [[Rai 1]] and presented by [[Amadeus (presenter)|Amadeus]], where they won the third episode (out of its four) and came second overall. In the autumn of 2018, Alessandra Drusian took part in the eighth edition of ''Tale e quale show'' and the seventh edition, its tournament edition, ranking second in both.

On 3 May 2019, the single "Cavallo bianco" ("White Horse") was released, a cover of the 1976 [[Matia Bazar]] song, with the collaboration of Carlo Marrale. Their new album, ''Voglio emozionarmi ancora'', was released on 17 March 2020.
