Zu & Co. is a compilation of songs, mostly written by Italian rock singer Zucchero. With the exception of "Indaco Dagli occhi Del Cielo" (a cover of the Korgis song "Everybody's got to learn sometime") and "Il Grande Baboomba", all songs have previously been recorded and released by Zucchero. For "ZU & Co." new versions of these songs were recorded with a selection of artists with whom Zucchero has performed during his career. The album has sold millions of copies worldwide and entered the Billboard 200 chart after its release in the U.S. in the summer of 2005.
