Gemelli DiVersi is an Italian pop-rap group that was founded in 1998. Today it consists of the singer Francesco Strangers (Strano) and the rapper Emanuele Busnaghi (theme). The name means "different twins", whereby DiVersi can also be read as di versi , ie "of verse ".
Band history
The group was created as a merger of the two duos La Cricca (Thema and THG ) and Rima nel Cuore (Strano and Grido).
