[2] In the late '70s Cannone started to dedicate to popular music and created about 700 works which included ballads, songs and poems inspired by the traditions and people of his homeland.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Sicilian poet Ignazio Buttitta and Rosa Balistreri, Fausto Cannone has discovered his love for his land and for the people who have fought for Sicily.

[1] The fight against violence, in favour of peace and freedom are the values which Cannone transmits through his songs; in 2017 he published the second album called In nome della legalità: a collection of the stories and heritages of men like Paolo Borsellino, Giovanni Falcone, Rocco Chinnici, Dalla Chiesa, Rosario Livatino, Ludovico Corrao, Peppino Impastato, Mauro Rostagno.

[3] Thanks to Fausto Cannone's donation of more than 200 ethnical instruments (string and wind ones), coming from several countries in the world, which he bought in 30 years of travels, it was founded an important and unique museum in Sicily.
