In this remarkable recording, Gino Sitson weaves a sonic tapestry where voice, body percussion, and cello merge to form a seamless dialogue of cultures and genres. Drawing on his African heritage while blending European and Cuban influences, Sitson creates music that feels both ancient and entirely new. His voice, at times a singular force and at others harmonized into rich, layered textures, flows effortlessly between jazz improvisation and classical precision. The cello provides a soulful counterpoint, grounding the rhythmic complexity of body percussion in a meditative warmth. This album is a celebration of fusion, where tradition and innovation find perfect harmony.
