Product Description
Content Introduction A crystallization of traveling rhythms, the current state of cross-border jazz. Latin blood engulfs the world and transforms into jazz. Matteo Flavoni's second album, "LATINO," conceived during a journey from Greece to Rajasthan in 2016. This ambitious work sees the drummer, with his Latin roots, absorbing diverse musical cultures encountered in various places and reconstructing them into his own unique jazz language. Incorporating homages to Cuban music, rhythms born from the gait of camels, respect for Mingus, and even the voice of Muazzin, the album develops a sound that transcends genres and regions. Recorded in Matteo's private studio in his hometown, the album is imbued with tension and dynamism, vividly capturing the instantaneous nature of the sound. An album that shows a new horizon for contemporary jazz.
