Raffaella (in some countries released as Hay que venir al sur) is the ninth studio album by Italian singer Raffaella Carrà, released in 1978 by CBS Italiana. It marked her first release to be distributed in the United States, further consolidating her growing international presence.
The album appeared in several markets with variations in title, language, and track order. In Spain and Latin America it was issued in Spanish under the title Hay que venir al sur, while in other countries it retained its original Italian version and artwork. Promotional campaigns accompanied the release, with CBS Records Brazil launching a strong effort in mid-1978.
Commercially, the album was supported by Carrà's active promotion across different countries. Her visit to Argentina boosted sales significantly, and she represented Italy at the 8th Annual Tokyo Music Festival in 1979 with the track "Luca", earning a Silver Award. The LP also achieved certification in Greece.
