Denovo is an Italian New wave group formed in the early 1980s in Catania. They are also referred to as I Denovo.
Background
The band officially debuted with the EP Niente insetti su Wilma, released in 1984, which had some local success and received several appreciations from the critics.[1] The group had his breakout in 1987, with the album Persuasione, referred to as "one of the best products of the Italian indie scene of the 1980s".[1] After several hits and two more albums, the group disbanded in 1990s, with Mario Venuti and Luca Madonia pursuing solo careers and Carbone focusing on production.[1] Following several occasional reunions, notably a special appearance at the 2008 Sanremo Music Festival,[1] the group officially reunited in 2014 for the album Kamikaze Bohemien.[2][3]
