Mr Bongo proudly presents Ritmo Italiano 'Unspoken Sounds of 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. Honouring the timeless rhythms of Italian percussion masters, alongside a brand- new exclusive composition by Gabriele, 'Ritmo Italiano' shines a light on the universal, primal language of the drum.
A connection sparked from an early age; percussion has always deeply resonated with Gabriele. It led to years of studying percussion traditions across Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, crafting his own songwriting skills in the process. An acclaimed producer and compiler, his releases on Yoruba Records, BBE and Soundway Records have garnered global support. Yet a growing need to rediscover the essence of his country's cultural heritage laid the foundations for this new compilation.
