the MEDICINE MEN have been one of the best groups of Sassari, between 1993 and 1998, concrete example of the recovery of the 70 vintage sounds at a time when nobody had in mind to cover the Band or Traffic. Initially created as an offshoot of the late lamented Highway 69, a fantastic and prolific garage rock band, thanks to Silvio Vinci, on keyboards and Stefano Sotgiu, guitar and vocals, founding member and sponsor of all initiatives of the group-who were, during the reporting period: a contribution to the first edition of the prestigious Narcao Blues festival, which involved the participation dl Sardinian best blues band, and especially the demo recording of the legendary "Hollywood ... ", recorded by G. Leonardi, with pieces of his own composition, which still, move me and leave a very pleasant listen, and where you can appreciate the participation in some vocals of Roberta Usai (the Aretha Franklin Sassarese .. .), Fabrizio Cherubini and Stefano Cossiga, then in Seven Miles. To make a little history, we must return to the period of transition that saw the dissolution of Highway 69 and the first jam session with some the most famous musicians of Sassari.
The first line-up included Roberto "Fins" Pinna, on guitar, joined for a short time by Giuseppe Mossa on second guitar (a bit to emulate the legendary guitar duo Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, a little bit of our dream ..) and besides Silvio and Stefano Carboni from Leonardo , on bass, who remained until its dissolution in 1998, later entered a permanent Marcello Meridda , battery and Gigi Cattani, guitar.
