  • Osanna are an Italian psychedelic rock/progressive rock band. The group stemmed by the union of Lino Vairetti (voice), Danilo Rustici (guitar), Massimo Guarino (drums), Lello Brandi (bass), from the first line-up of the band Città Frontale, and Elio D'Anna (flute and sax), former member of the Showmen. Osanna were mong the first bands in the world to present themselves theatrically in their shows, featuring costumes and made-up faces. After the debut album L'uomo, they released the soundtrack for the film Milano Calibro 9. In 1972 they toured in Italy alongside Genesis. Their following album Palepoli (1972) is regarded as one of the finest hours of the Italian progressive rock movement, characterized by a wild composition fantasy which mixes Neapolitan and Mediterranean sounds with modern progressive rock elements, such as the extensive use of electric guitar and mellotron. In 1974, despite strifes amongst the band's member, they released Landscape of life, to which participated also future rock and pop producer Corrado Rustici, brother of Danilo. The band disbanded but rejoined in 1977, but without D'Anna, replaced by keyboardist Fabrizio D'Angelo, while the bass role was taken by Enzo Petrone. With this line-up they released Suddance in 1978, only to disband again in 1979. The Osanna reformed in 1999, releasing the LP Taka boom the following year, including old successes and some new songs. Their next production was Prog Family, under the name of Osanna/Jackson, featuring notable figures of progressick rock history, such as Van der Graaf Generator's saxophonist David Jackson (as per name), King Crimson's David Cross, Balletto di Bronzo's Gianni Leone and others.
  • Gli Osanna sono un gruppo rock progressivo, uno dei più originali di questo genere in Italia, formato a Napoli agli inizi degli anni '70 da Lino Vairetti, Danilo Rustici, Lello Brandi, Massimo Guarino ed Elio D'Anna.
