Marracash and Guè, 'Santeria' sets Milan on fire ten years later

Milan relived the revolution of Italian rap with the concert of Marracash and Guè at the Ippodromo Snai San Siro. Thirty thousand fans filled the space to celebrate the tenth anniversary of "Santeria," the album that marked a turning point in the national music scene. The event saw the two rappers perform tracks from the historic record, with the audience responding in chorus to the chants, recreating the atmosphere of ten years ago.

The live show was a true journey through time, confirming the lasting impact of Marracash and Guè's work. The album, released in 2016, is not only remembered but relived with the same energy that characterized its debut, demonstrating how that project left an indelible mark on Italian musical culture.

The album "Santeria," released in 2016, represents a milestone in the history of Italian rap. The record, born from the collaboration between Marracash (real name Fabio Rizzo) and Guè (Gué Pequeno, pseudonym of Cosimo Fini), united two already established solo artists, hailing respectively from the crews Club Dogo and Dogo Gang. Their artistic meeting generated an innovative sound that blended rap, trap, and international influences, achieving unprecedented mass success for the genre.

"Santeria" was not only a commercial success but also changed the rules of the game, bringing rap from underground niches to the Italian mainstream, influencing a generation of subsequent artists. The 2026 Milan concert celebrates precisely this ten-year anniversary, highlighting how the album has maintained its appeal intact. The event demonstrates the maturity reached by Italian rap, which has evolved from a cult phenomenon to a consolidated part of the national music landscape, capable of bringing together tens of thousands of people years later.
