Kano was a dance project formed in the start of
the 1980s by Italian-based producers Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto
who helped usher in a style of dance music called Italo-disco, a blend of 1970s disco and
funk made by artists in Italy.
Unofficially known for being one of the first dance groups and artists to bring a new
instrumental trend of synthesizers and a module known as the Talk Box (made more famous in
the R&B world by the late Roger Troutman who formed the group Zapp) into the pop and
disco mainstream, their revolutionary sound was first heard on radio stations and in dance
clubs around the world with their debut hit single, 1980's "I'm Ready", from
their self-titled debut album (which also included the minor hit "It's A War"
and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager").
It not only started Italo-Disco, but also helped paved the way for the growth of hip-hop
culture, as "I'm Ready" became an instant breakdance classic.
The project went on to record two other albums, including 1981's "New York Cake"
(which included the minor hits "Don't Try To Stop Me", and "Can't Hold
Back") and 1983's "Another Life" (including the title track and "I
Need Love") which introduced West Indian-born singer Glen White. Their last song was
1985's "This Is The Night".
"I'm Ready" was later used as a sample on several songs; it gained more
popularity on Tag Team's early '90s hit, "Whoomp! (There It Is)".
