COMA_COSE
The Coma Cose are an Italian indie pop/rap musical duo, formed in Milan in 2016 and made up of Fausto Lama (pseudonym of Fausto Zanardelli) and California (pseudonym of Francesca Mesiano).
Fausto, who had abandoned his musical career at that time, was convinced to take it up again by Francesca, a former DJ, whom he had met by chance as a work colleague (both were clerks at a bag and gift shop).
In 2017 they joined the record label Asian Fake, with which they released the EP "Inverno ticinese" in the same year. On March 15, 2018 they performed on the talk show "E poi c'è Cattelan" hosted by Alessandro Cattelan.
