I Gufi, which translates to "The Owls" in English, was a renowned Italian music and comedy group that enjoyed prominence during the 1960s, renowned for integrating humor and music in a way that reflected the Italian popular culture and traditions of the time. Formed in Milan in 1964, the original lineup consisted of Roberto Brivio, Lino Patruno, Gianni Magni, and Nanni Svampa. Their style was a unique mix of cabaret, folk music, and satire, which they often performed in lively, theatrical shows.

I Gufi's repertoire typically included reinterpretations of Milanese folk songs, original compositions, and music hall performances, adeptly balancing comedy with social commentary. This approach brought them much adoration from a devoted fan base who were charmed by their witticism and playful musicality. Throughout their career, they released several albums including "Al Cabaret" and "La Milanese", showcasing their versatility in both live and studio settings. Songs like "Orango Tango" and "Vampira Tango" display their characteristic blend of humor with Italian musical traditions. Even though the group disbanded in 1969, I Gufi's legacy endures in Italian cultural history, remembered for their unique contributions to the country's entertainment scene.
