Ancestry - Discendenze

Ancestry was born in La Spezia (ITALY) in 1988 as a cover band; they played Rush and Led Zeppelin’s songs to learn playing together, but they soon were attracted by prog-rock and started to create their own music; then there was a change from english lyrics to italian and some changes in the crew, but still keeping part of the original musicians and the same musical concept and style.

Ancestry took part in "Decibel" review, being present also in the final national show in CapoTerra (Cagliari - Sardinia - Italy) on 17 November 1990: the show was presented by Red Ronnie, who invited the band to his musical TV show "Beatles tonight" (on "Italia1": the first private channel TV in Italy): here Ancestry played The Beatles' cover "Strawberry Fields Forever". The band seemed to be complete, with Fabrizio Sicuteri on keyboards & Voice, Federico Ruoppolo on Drums, Fabio Menoni on Bass and Davide Maucci on Guitars.
