 "No offense to those afflicted by nomadism but 'Quando ci saremo' is perhaps the album that contains the most ugliness in all their discography."

 "If you decide to go on in a band, and you want to replace a singer because they passed away, putting in two is not at all brave. That means having none at all."

This review revisits Nomadi’s 1996 album 'Quando ci sarai' with a critical perspective. While the lyrics retain some depth reminiscent of the Augusto era, the music is largely described as musically banal and disappointing. The double-singer approach after Augusto Daolio's passing is criticized for weakening the band’s identity. Guest contributions, especially from Francesco Gualerzi and Cuban musicians, add some interest. Overall, the album is seen as one of the weaker entries in Nomadi's discography. Discover the complexities behind Nomadi's 'Quando ci sarai'—explore the album and its story today.
