FLYING ATTITUDE - Beàs, Michel

Flying Attitude introduces the duo of vocalist Beàs and guitarist Michel. Acoustic ballads, neo-progressive colours and pop sensibility shape ten tracks including original songs in several languages and two performances of Mogol and Lucio Battisti's Una giornata uggiosa.
