Tracks where jazz and Italian library music blend with Afro-Cuban and Mediterranean rhythms. A wide-ranging selection built around drumming, paying tribute to the timeless grooves of Italy's master percussionists. Featuring Don Marino Barreto Junior's samba/bossa number "Napolitano d'o Brazil," Tullio De Piscopo's cosmic disco cut "Temptation" (sample_1), the wildly twisted fusion track "Certi giorni mi sento bene, certi giorni mi sento male" (sample_2), and Tony Cercola's "Lumumba" (sample_3) in a remix by tropical bass stalwart Clap! Clap!. Be sure to check out "Ritmo Italiano" in the tracklist too, a new Gabriele original fusing Afro-Latin grooves with Italian jazz. Every track comes highly recommended!
