Francesco Il Mercante - 028
from 1000 w/ Ron Placone · host RonPlacone
Francesco Il Mercante is an Italian musician and busker who has performed all over the world. He has built a one-man band assemble that allows him to do percussion and play guitar and at times harmonica, simultaneously. The entire thing is mobile, and he can carry it in a backpack. Due to his unique talent, he’s gone viral on YouTube multiple times. His version of Bitter Sweet Symphony' I prefer over the original. Also, I’ve mentioned in the past that I have two favorite versions of the anti-fascist song, 'Bella Ciao'. One is by Jess Silk (Episode 8), and the other is by Francesco. His cover of Bella Ciao is how I found him. We talk about it.
