From the major league of Italian pop-chanson. Finally active again live and for a Friday night in Brussels' AB .

Gianna Nannini has a name that's a pleasure to announce: it rolls off the tongue but, more especially, it's also a women who packs a punch (as they say, see too: big hit 'Bello & Impossibile' and the brawny clip associated with it.)

Anyway, 'I Maschi' was that immense hit with which this Tuscan suddenly conquered the world in the second half of the eighties (Just like, at the time, her brother Alessandro attempted to do in the Formula 1).

That recognisable, raspy and steadfast voice was immediately embedded in everyone's mind and her career took off. With, since the mid '70s, almost 30 LPs/cassettes/CDs to her name. More specifically, a hit like the compilation 'Maschi & Altri'.

Meanwhile, Gianna Nannini is now the proud mother of Penelope Jane Charlotte and she'll also return in 2013 with a new album: 'Inno' (plus, as first single: 'La Fine Del Mondo' ). Till then we'll be singing along: 'Ti Voglio Tanto Bene.'
