Osanna, one of the greatest Italian prog bands, originally from Naples, was formed in 1971 on the wreckage of another local band "Citta Frontale". Its original line-up included Danilo Rustici (guitar, keyboards), Lino Vairetti (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Elio D'Anna (saxophone, flute), Lello Brandi (bass) and Massimo Guarino (drums, percussion). Osanna was one of the first bands in the world to present themselves theatrically at their shows, with costumes and made-up faces. In 1974, despite the differences between the band members, they released the album "Landscape Of Life". The album was intended for foreign markets, so five of the seven tracks are in English, but unfortunately, during the recording of the album, the band broke up. It reformed in 1977. Osanna disbanded again in 1979.
