  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    “Onde” is a story about continuous change, in which the sea resonates everywhere, from the gentle movement that can lull before it transforms into a tidal wave that destroys, making a clean sweep. It holds within itself numerous metaphors and multiple states of mind that, like sea waves, can take on thousands of forms.
    While all water moves, changing shape and force, each song lets sounds pass through it within a sea of frequencies in which Cristiano della Monica's percussion and Ernesto Nobili's guitars guarantee Maria Mazzotta's song the possibility to navigate onward. The voice shoves off and sets sail, allowing itself to be hurled far away, sinking before returning to the surface and, finally, finding rest. For the three musicians who, from Lecce and Naples, have always had the sea in their minds and eyes, this album tells the story of the movement of the sea, from the torment that navigating it entails to the relief that, in the end, each landing offers.

about

SULA NU PUEI STARE (YOU CANNOT BE ALONE)
“Sula nu puei stare” came about from the desire to pay homage to the Bulería style and its classic Andalusian Gitano Flamenco rhythm, which Maria was able to discover thanks to her longstanding collaboration with dancer Miguel Angel Berna and his musicians.
Tracing a route from the Salento area, with the classic expression of song and dialect, to Andalusia, with the rhythm strongly inspired by the Bulería style, the trio arrives in North Africa where the rhythm remains as always in triplets which is at the same time quite close to how Salento pizzica pizzica is.
The way in which the song evolved naturally is what brought the trio to invite Bombino, an exceptional guitarist and singer-songwriter from Niger and one of the major exponents of the global success of “Desert Blues”. With Bombino the result is a propitiatory ‘good luck’ rite made of intertwining guitar strings, a Macedonian tapan drum groove, and percussion that encourages dance and dialogue without prejudice; an invitation to show solidarity towards others by putting aside individuality.
“In my opinion, Bulería rhythm combines the feeling of four beats with the count of three, the subdivisions that make up almost all the music we listen to. It is the result of a centuries-long journey from east to west, by now millennia, with the Mediterranean Sea and its coasts as its main road” – adds Cristiano Della Monica.
