The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Adelmo Fornaciari was born in Roncocesi (Reggio Emilia – ITALY) on September 25th 1955. His family then moved to Forte Dei Marmi in Tuscany, where, between 1970 and 1978, he formed his first R&B bands: Le Nuove Luci, "Sugar & Daniel" and "Sugar & Candies". By this time, he was already known as "Zucchero", a nickname given by one of his school teachers.
In 1983 he recorded his first studio album, ' Un po' di Zucchero’. In 1984 he went to San Francisco to meet producer and guitarist Corrado Rustici, who introduced him to Randy Jackson. In 1985 he returned to Italy with a new band comprising Randy Jackson on bass, Corrado Rustici on guitar, Walter Afanasieff on keyboards and Giorgio Francis Perry on percussion. He took part in the Sanremo Festival with the song "Donne" (Polygram) and later released Zucchero & The Randy Jackson Band. The following year Zucchero released the album Respect, which was a huge chart success, and again took part in the Sanremo Festival with "Canzone Triste."
