Lineup: Mario Poletti on acoustic and electric mandolin, acoustic and electric mandola, tenor guitar, banjo, vocals; Fabrizio Carletto on electric and acoustic bass, Hammond organ and backing vocals; Diana Imbrea on violin and vocals; Oreste Garello on acoustic and electric guitars and vocals; Tatè Nsongan on percussion and backing vocals; Michela Giordano on vocals; Paolo Costola on electric sitar; and Danilo Dalmasso on spoken word.
