Who I Musici di Francesco Guccini are

Songs and stories
During the concerts the audience can hear again some of the most iconic pieces by the «Maestrone», starting from the landmark album «Fra la via Emilia e il West», accompanied by short accounts of life lived alongside him. The narrated element is what distinguishes these evenings from an ordinary repertoire concert.
