New Dada

The New Dada were one of the most influential beat group of the sixties in Italy.
The name was inspired by the dadaist artistic movement, and they have been very effective during thier concerts, mainly thanks to the original approach of their front-man Maurizio Arcieri.
Troubles between the members led the group to a separation in the first months of the 1967 and to the birth of a new formation. The new band was formed by Ferry Sansoni (the keyboardist), Franco Jadanza and Renè Vignocchi (guitars) of the original group and Gaby Lizmi (drummer in the Patrick Samson Group) and Danny Besquet (bass player of the group I Profeti). The name was simply Ferry, Franco, Renè, Danny & Gaby (maybe inspired by the UK group Dave, Dee, Doozy, Beacky, Mick & Tich).
