The Rubacuori is the instrumental alter-ego of Tony Pucci.
The name "rubacuori" was suggested to Tony by his beautiful friend Steffi Bondini in one of those memorable Antenna chats from long ago. Rubacuori means "thief of hearts" in Italian.
To date, Tony has released 9 full-length Rubacuori CDs: 8 "real" CDs and 1 "b-side" disc. Recently, Tony has put his ruba-skills to use while recording instrumental backing tracks for other vocalists for the "Songs for Jenny" ALS charity CD project (www.songsforjenny.com).
Other Rubacuori adventures have included providing instrumental soundtracks for training videos. If you'd like some mellow and groovy backing instrumentals for your video work, podcasts, etc, please contact Tony via pollyannacowgirlrecords @ yahoo dot com
The Rubacuori instrumentals will always be a part of Tony's musical endeavors. Indeed, as demonstrated by the new CD, "A Smile Worth Remembering" (May 2008), the Rubacuori is rising again!!!
