Kano was a dance project formed in the start of the 1980s by Italian-based producers Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto who helped usher in a style of dance music called Italo-disco, a blend of 1970s disco and funk made by artists in Italy.

Unofficially known for being one of the first dance groups and artists to bring a new instrumental trend of synthesizers and a module known as the Talk Box (made more famous in the R&B world by the late Roger Troutman who formed the group Zapp) into the pop and disco mainstream, their revolutionary sound was first heard on radio stations and in dance clubs around the world with their debut hit single, 1980's "I'm Ready", from their self-titled debut album (which also included the minor hit "It's A War" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager").
