The album has 15 tunes, in which we can also hear  Faydee's, Zack Knight, Kennoyon Brown and few more voices.   In the album is included also one of our favorite track of all time, since it was relesed a few months back :  "On my way" where we can hear the work of three amazing guys melting together : Faydee, James Yammouni and Adam Saleh itself.   On the same day was relesed Waynak music video, which is defentely amazing.

Hello dear listeners and readers,  last sunday (12.03.2017) Cesco's new single Astronauta was released in all the digital stores and day before yesterday the official video was released also.  Useless to say that we bought it right away, and we loved it from the first second till the last one. In this song is really possible to recognize a development in the lyrics and also in the melody. In the song is possible to hear also the great Silvia Capasso, who unfotunately is not longer with us in this world. For the non-italian speakers,  the song  tells about the aleatory trip of a man wandering in the ruins of his unconscious, sure to be an astronaut looking for his lost love, who knows in which corner of the universe. I have really liked the lyrics. I have found at least a couple of verses that could really apply to myself.  There is one verse that says " sono sbarcato su un pianeta ma è quello sbagliato sono solo in questo posto che appare abbandonato" which ...

In august 2016 Cesco and Silvia have perfomed the song in Rome at "Stazione Birra"; everything was ready, the only thing missing was the lounch of the sinlge and of the video...... Today many things are different, unfortunatelly Silvia has died recently, leaving an empty in space in many people. As Cesco said in the press release : "After that fact I have been in silence for days, I was not able to cry, I was incredulous and with pain in my st...
