The band:
Esposito Gennaro Panettiere Fornaro’s Blues Band is a strange set of artists scattered all over the Italian peninsula, coming from punk, classical, electro, Dadaism, folk, reggae and Marx Brothers, which talks about important contents just like a real band, without knowing if it will ever want to be a serious band. EGPFBB includes Valentino Corvino (well-known violinist, soundtracks composer for cinema and theater), Marco Maffei (recording studio and live concerts sound engineer who artistically produced the release with Corvino and played some guitars), Dandy Bestia (the legendary Skiantos’ guitarist who played on “Sono Buono‘), Pierpaolo Gaudiano on bass and sax, Alessandro Lo Storto on drums, Galileo Rigenerato on percussions, Corrado Rainone and Michele Pensato on declamations and vocals. Antonio Bucci, from the Pseudofonia band, even took part in the recordings playing ukulele, together with the children’s choir “Ketchup Choir” and a choir of Apulian unofficial singers.

“… Ma sono andato in Ungheria, non ho seguito quella via. Ho conosciuto tanta gente ed ho aperto la mia mente… [ENG]: .. But I went to Hungary, I did not follow that path. I met so many people and I opened my mind … “
