Product Description
Content Introduction This is the Roman Andren we've been waiting for! A complete departure from his previous work, this new album is a return to his roots, brilliantly blending the sophisticated Brazilian-CTI-style fusion sound of his masterpieces "Juanita" and "The Color Green" era with aggressive Afrobeat influences! The "Nordic Deodato" style Roman Andren is back!! Brazilian fusion sound on par with his early masterpiece "Juanita"!! Roman Andren has been greatly influenced by the warm and romantic sounds of Deodato and Bob James. In his previous work, "Cabra Negra," he showcased the breadth of his talent with a style that went all-in on Latin jazz, but with his seventh album, he makes a magnificent return to his roots. Building upon his debut album in Japan, the masterpiece "Juanita," which brought him widespread recognition, Roman Andren has further developed his Brazilian fusion sound!! Having collaborated with the Swedish Afrobeat band Cacaraca Band, whom he met in 2012 and with whom he has held numerous sessions, he has created a Brazilian fusion sound that is both fantastical and warm, combining an even more aggressive groove with the mystical qualities of themes inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, the renowned fantasy writer of the Cthulhu Mythos!! This is a confident work that will surely satisfy listeners who have been waiting for this side of Roman Andren!! Media reviews and more: Following in the footsteps of the romantic sounds of Deodato and Bob James, keyboardist Roman Andren releases his 7th album overall, and his Japanese debut. A moving album that brilliantly fuses a fantastical and warm Brazilian fusion sound with aggressive Afrobeat influences. (C)RS
