Kano
Kano was an Italo disco music project formed in Milan, Italy in 1979 by
producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. The
group's debut single, "I'm Ready", released in 1980, combined elements of 1970s
disco, funk, and R&B with synthesizers and percussive handclaps, as well as
raw-processed and vocoderized vocals. This track peaked at number 21 on the U.S.
Black Singles chart and marked their breakthrough moment. Kano's self-titled
debut album included hits such as "It's a War" and "Ahjia", both of which
reached number 2 for five weeks on the Hot Dance ...
