The documentary “Nomade che non sono altri” arrives on Rai 2. Originally scheduled on Rai 3, the work, created by Rai Documentari, will be broadcast this evening and intends to celebrate the 60-year career of the musical group the Nomadi and its founder Beppe Carletti.
It was the early 60s when Beppe Carletti and Augusto Daolio decided to form their own band between Modena and Reggio Emilia. The debut took place in 1963 and the name chosen was Nomadi. In 1966 he began his collaboration with a then unknown Francesco Guccini. From this partnership are born songs that mark a fundamental stage in the Italian musical panorama.
And in 1972 Io Vagabondo, still today the band’s symbolic song and anthem for several generations.
