KANO – Kano (1980)

Kano was a post-disco music project formed in 1979 by Italian-based producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. They were one of the first groups to usher in a style of dance music called Italo-Disco, a blend of 1970s disco and funk with more emphasis on synthesizers and other electronic instruments.

VICTORY! The highly anticipated (by Caroline) new mix from… me. You already know. Is it good? Yes. Will you like it? Probably (if not you will burn eternally in Michigan).
