Marco Albani
Encuentro
Delta-Top Records

I drove to London earlier this week and anyone who had accompanied me would have assumed I had a faulty CD player as the same album played continuously throughout the journey. ENCUENTRO is just that kind of encounter! Once you have experienced the warm glow you want to repeat it again. A native of Rome, Italy this is nylon guitarist Marco Albani’s 2nd release and it absolutely fulfills the great promise of his first. With a multitude of musical guests like Maurizio Giamarco, Marco Siniscalco and the Gnu Quartet this new venture is the pinnacle of “Italiano Latino“ music from the Mediterranean but honed in South America. The 11-track ENCUENTRO covers a musical landscape from the ethereal “Cadeau Cadeau“ to the tangoesque “Pasion” to the Bossa beat of “Carmen” finally arriving in the andean villages with the atmospheric title track. This is real journeyman music with more than a nod to Pat Metheny. The warm glow starts here! ~STEWART COXHEAD
