Gabriele Poso Presents Ritmo Italiano
'UNSPOKEN SOUNDS OF THE ITALIAN TAMBURO' - A captivating compilation of percussive-driven, Italian gems curated by Sardinian multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer, Gabriele Poso. A journey into the heart of Italian musical history, it celebrates Italy's rich rhythmic traditions, showcasing a selection of genre-traversing, Italian treasures from the '60s to the early '90s. Across the 12 absorbing tracks, there's jazz influences, Italian library music aesthetics and experimental beats mixing with Afro-Cuban and Mediterranean rhythms. It's a broad selection anchored by the drums. The synth-heavy, '80s jazz funk flavours of Gegè Munari's 'Police Man,' sit side-by-side with the samba-infused 'Napulitano D'o Brasil' by Don Marino Barreto Jr. Tribal, earthly energy radiates from Nacos Volando Con Milton, with Tullio De Piscopo serving up cosmic disco brilliance, and blistering jazz funk mastery coming courtesy of Agostino Marangolo. Taking the name of the compilation, a new original track by Gabriele, 'Ritmo Italiano,' blends traditional rhythms with contemporary energy, Afro-Latin influences with Italian jazz essence. Recorded live in one take, it captures a raw, unfiltered vibe.
