    Kano was a music project formed in Milan (Italy) in 1979 by producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. Kano was one of the earliest music groups to usher in a new style of dance music called Italo disco.
    Kano's debut single was the 1980 international hit "I'm Ready", combining elements of 1970s disco, funk and R&B while extensively using synthesizers and percussive handclaps as well as raw-processed and vocoderized vocals. Kano's self-titled debut album also included "It's a War", "Ahjia", "Now Baby Now" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager". "I'm Ready" peaked at #21 on the U.S. Black Singles chart, while "It's a War" and "Ahjia" were also big hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., reaching #2 for five weeks.

    Music back in the days had the right balance of electronic elements and natural instruments. It actually sounded more futuristic and mystical than today's music, ironically. It makes me think of other planets, the future, and the wonders of the universe. So it only makes sense that this kind of music is featured in Guardians of the Galaxy

      I've always said the best era of music was the disco era. That era was like a liberational movement. People felt free to be themselves. Unlike today those times were more simpler. I remember vividly seeing KC & The Sunshine Band live. They were phenomenal. Dancing, singing and playing instruments superbly. Music and talent were authentic and real back then. The fashion, TV, movies😍 Every aspect of the disco era was magnificent. My all time favorite disco tune to this very day is the original long club version of Anita Ward's Rong My Bell (ring-a-ling-a-ling). Great memories.

    This song was the sh*t when I was a high school senior (Class of 1980). I love European disco artists from the 1980s, whose music was sampled to make rap and hip hop hits. Remember Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express (1977)? Planet Rock is my all-time favorite rap-hip hop song because of the samplings from Trans Europe Express.

    So glad to have stumbled across this song on youtube. I never knew the name of the song or the group so I could never find it, but I remember roller skating to it back in the day! Never would've guessed it was an Italo disco song from 1980! It sounds just as fresh today as it did then.

I need some old man break dance moves bad, something where I can robot walk out to the grand kids, say I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming after you," and then let them have it B-boy, or rather B-Grandpa battle style. Don't worry, I have medical insurance.
