Emilia-born Italian musician, nicknamed Duka; songwriter, producer and conductor who has worked with Mario Biondi and performed as guitarist with Cesare Cremonini's band. Released the album Someway Still I Do on Schema Records.

Author of the song "This Is What You Are" (introduced Mario Biondi); released the album Someway Still I Do on Schema Records; worked as writer, producer and conductor for Mario Biondi; performed as guitarist in Cesare Cremonini’s band and is credited in Cremonini's "Il primo bacio sulla luna" and the Maggese Theatre Tour 2005 CD+DVD "1+8+24".

Alessandro Magnanini's Someway Still I Do is praised as a refined, "very classy" yet accessible album combining jazz‑inspired instrumentals, Latin touches and 60s‑style cinematic pop. The record features guest vocalists (Jenny B, Liam McKahey, Rosalia de Sousa) and notable players (Fabrizio Bosso). Reviewer Alberta awards the album high marks and recommends it as a must‑have.

For:Fans of jazz‑influenced pop, listeners of cinematic/retro arrangements, followers of Mario Biondi and Schema Records collectors.

 I'm letting you know - just as the new album by Mario Biondi has just been released - about the release of the first album by the Emilia-born musician Alessandro "Duka" Magnanini (author of the hit song "This Is What You Are", which introduced Mario Biondi, for whom Magnanini has been a writer, producer, and conductor over the years); the eclectic Magnanini actually also has a past as a virtuoso guitarist for Cesare Cremonini’s band: in fact, he also appears as such in the latest work of the Bolognese singer-songwriter, "Il primo bacio sulla luna," but I particularly remember him excelling in this role during the Maggese Theatre Tour of 2005, immortalized in the CD+DVD "1+8+24."
