The Ossi Duri have proved to be one of the
best qualified bands in the world to reinterpret
the music of the genius Frank Zappa, also
thanks to the contribution of Ike Willis,
Mike Kenneally, Napoleon M. Brock, Zappa's
long time music partners and the collaboration
with Elio (of the Storie Tese).
Now they have taken off with their own music,
faithful to the spirit of Zappa and, consequently,
in a constant effort to innovate and search
for original ideas. Their lyrics reflect
their present generation status of "still
very young".
