Marracash and Guè: the setlist from the Milan show and a report from the first of two concerts celebrating "Santeria"

“Say G.U.E. Say Marracash”. Thirty thousand voices answer in unison, and for one night the Ippodromo Snai San Siro in Milan turns back the clock ten years. Marracash and Guè celebrate “Santeria”, the joint album released in 2016 that has since become one of the cult records of Italian rap, with the first of two sold-out event nights in front of more than 30,000 spectators. Tonight comes the second show.

It all kicks off with “Salvador Dalì”, as the two rappers make their entrance in shimmering red tracksuits, backed by a huge LED wall and two side screens. Then come “Money”, “Senza Dio” and “Ca$hmere”, before Marracash asks how many in the crowd were already there ten years ago, back in the days of “Santeria”. A sea of hands goes up. “You've grown up well, though,” the two joke. But what really stands out is the presence of so many young fans: boys and girls who don't just shout along to the choruses but rap entire verses, word for word, at breakneck speed. Proof of just how much rap has become a language that cuts across generations.
“Santeria” has, after all, lost little of its power. Born between Milan, Tenerife and Brazil, the album captured two already established artists still grappling with the contradictions of success, mixing ambition, disillusionment, irony and unease. Ten years on, tracks like “Senza Dio”, “Cosa mia”, “Maledetto me”, “Insta Lova” and “Film senza volume” still work perfectly live. That's also because the show stays true to its hip-hop roots: no band, few frills, with Marracash and Guè rapping non-stop over the productions, backed by Ty1 on the decks.

“Now here's a track that pumps you up and revs you up,” they announce before “Scooteroni”, greeted by the crowd erupting on the famous “Vroom, vroom… Scooteroni! Scooteroni!”. The energy stays red-hot through “Daytona” and “Insta Lova”, while Guè switches into a light sleeveless hoodie and Marracash opts for black. “This one's a bit of a lap-dance track, a bit strip-club,” they joke introducing “Maledetto me”. Shortly after comes “Tony”, a tribute to Tony Montana from “Scarface”.
But the show isn't just a nostalgic celebration of “Santeria”. The two artists' catalogues are by now vast enough to allow for constant crossovers between past and present, collaborations and solo careers. And it's precisely on this complementarity that one of the show's best ideas is built. After “Quasi amici”, Marracash and Guè stage a kind of “Street Fighter”-style duel, complete with rounds and energy bars projected on the screens: a friendly battle fought out through songs.

“Sport” takes on “Lamborghini”, “Body Parts” goes up against “Ti levo le collane”, “Badabum cha cha” against “Mollami”, “Cookies 'N' Cream” against “King del Rap”, “Bastavano le briciole” against “Eravamo re”. And then “A volte esagero” versus “Giù il soffitto” and “Ragazzo d'oro” versus “64 Bars”. There's no real winner: it's above all a game between two friends who have known each other for thirty years and have lived through much of recent Italian hip-hop history together. They wind each other up, laugh, catch each other's eye while rapping, turning the Ippodromo for a few minutes into one giant rap playground.
It is friendship, even more than the anniversary, that runs through the whole evening. “Santeria” was born out of the chemistry between two rappers who grew up in the same circles with similar ambitions, before both became absolute leading figures of the Italian scene. A bond that still clearly shows on stage, and which finds its most intense moment in the finale.
Before that, though, there's room for another string of songs that show just how much Marracash and Guè's artistic paths have kept crossing over the years. “Qualcosa in cui credere” and “Brivido” arrive, one of the signature tracks from Guè's “Bravo ragazzo”, released in 2013, followed by “∞ Love”, from Marracash's “Us, Them, the Others”, turned into one massive singalong. There's also room for “Casini”, the collaboration just released, which brings the evening right into the present.

Then all that's left is “Nulla accade”. It's here that Marracash briefly drops the playful tone and speaks directly to his friend: “Friendship matters to me: we've known each other for thirty years, and we've got twenty years of careers behind us. Meeting you changed my life. Nothing happens by chance…”. Guè answers with a hug, and for a few moments the huge spectacle gives way to something far simpler: the bond between two people who have shared thirty years of life and music.
The crowd then breaks into a chant of “MarraGuè, MarraGuè, MarraGuè”, almost merging the two names into one. That's perhaps the image that best sums up the meaning of the celebration. Ten years on, “Santeria” no longer looks like just a hugely successful joint album, made before shared records became a recurring formula in the rap market, but as proof of an artistic and personal bond that has survived time, individual careers, and the inevitable changes of the scene.
