Recorded in Lecce in the south of Italy and almost entirely on his own (unlike previous productions), the undisputed star of the show is once again the drum and the percussion, the Tamburo Infinito.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough born in Italy, Gabriele has always looked across the Atlantic for inspirations and rhythms, and this album is no different. This time his sonic adventures took him to the French West Indies and the French Caribbean island like Guadeloupe Martinique, \"I'm in love with everything about the sound of their drums, it's very unique warm and deep sound.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album kicks off with the hot \u0026amp; sticky Ritmo, setting the tone for the record with a kaleidoscope of tropical rhythms and influences. First single La Bola is jammed full of exultant horns and syncopated drum beats carried on the back of a driving, funky bassline. By the time the horns drop in on the aptly named Party People the carnival is in full swing over jubilant percussion and spaced out synths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wonderwheel","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP.","offer_id":50463821267275,"sku":"1136383","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c1afe5ee-7b05-439f-a229-82be74e6f383_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727266959"},{"product_id":"awakening-2","title":"Awakening","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaking his BBE debut in 2017 with compilation album \u003ci\u003eThe Languages Of Tambores\u003c\/i\u003e, described by The Vinyl Factory as “ancestral, evocative and visceral”, Italian multiinstrumentalist Gabriele Poso returns to the label with his new LP \u003ci\u003eAwakening\u003c\/i\u003e. Since his debut album \u003ci\u003eFrom The Genuine World\u003c\/i\u003e, released in 2008 on Osunlade’s Yoruba Records, Gabriele has amassed an impressive catalogue of solo work and guest appearances, not to mention a hectic schedule of live performances. Perhaps Gabriele’s most rounded work to date;\u003ci\u003e Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e captures an artist in full bloom, examining a crossroads between creative and personal paths.“The birth of my eldest son Viktor caused me to question my career in music and explore other, more ‘secure’ options, but thanks to my wife I quickly realised that to be different from your neighbor doesn’t make you wrong. After all, in this life, does anyone really have any security? So actually Viktor and my family have become my super power: they teach me to believe in myself more then I ever did before. This album is all about that realization; that Awakening.”\u003cbr\u003eEncompassing Afro-latin, jazz, soul and dance music elements, glued together by Poso’s distinctive layered live percussion sounds, \u003ci\u003eAwakening\u003c\/i\u003e is peppered with guest performances and production touches from a talented series of friends. As Gabriele puts it “I like to surround my music with the people I love and want to spend my time with.” A deeply rooted and spiritual project, a few of the tracks featured on \u003ci\u003eAwakening\u003c\/i\u003e will be familiar to those lucky enough to catch Gabriele Poso on tour over the last 12 months; not least his reimagining of the Roy Ayers classic \u003ci\u003eEverybody Loves The Sunshine\u003c\/i\u003e. From the stunning cover art by Elvira Gerardi which features Gabriele’s first born son Viktor, to the special music contained within, this album’s message is clear; although as Gabriele succinctly points out: when we talk about love, ‘words never work.’\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBE","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50471485899083,"sku":"1028864","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6039121f-70ea-4018-a6e0-764c11ee7141_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727404234"},{"product_id":"maraviglia","title":"Maraviglia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaraviglia\u003c\/em\u003e, the sixth album by Italian percussionist and producer Gabriele Poso, celebrates collective musicianship through a vibrant, groove-driven sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by late 70s Italian disco and global rhythms, the record blends Mediterranean warmth, Afro Caribbean percussion and jazz sensibility, with one foot firmly on the dancefloor.
