Story & Background
"Walzer D'Un Blues" represents a curious and fascinating anomaly in Italian discography, an album born almost as a joke. The project saw Zucchero Fornaciari (Adelmo, his real name) gather friends and legends – Dodi Battaglia dei Pooh, Maurizio Vandelli dell'Equipe 84, Fio Zanotti, Michele Torpedine – during a holiday in the Dolomites, near the Sorapìs mountain group. The original idea was an authentic "vacanza musicale", an opportunity to play together without the pressure of their respective solo careers or established bands. Despite the admittedly light-hearted and playful approach, the album was recorded in a few weeks with a jovial and spontaneous spirit. The band did not expect commercial success, but the warmth and quality of the songs, permeated by a local blues and a convivial atmosphere, immediately captivated the public. The result was an album which, though conceived as an impromptu experiment by a casual supergroup, unexpectedly established itself as a minor classic. A precious testament to a friendship and shared passion that exceeded all expectations, leaving an indelible mark.
This first pressing from 1993, with its original barcode, is the tangible and collectible testament to that unrepeatable moment in the history of our music.
