The Mancuso Brothers compose original music influenced by their experience of migration to the UK and their work in London’s factories. More artists are involved in the project, such as Mona Lisa Tina, Andreco, Thierry Weid, and many others. Art is a universal language that creates relationships, generates shared memories, and helps us to live a fuller life, even in times of crisis.
