Matia Bazar

40 years ago Matia Bazar from #Genoa, #Italy released their 9th studio album.

From the opener absolute banger 👉 Ti Sento (#MatiaBazar signature) to the closing sophisti "Souvenir", simply amazing!

#AntonellaRuggiero – vocals
#AldoStellita – bass
#CarloMarrale – guitar, backing vocals
