DESCRIPTION

Pedro and Damián gathered a group of friends in Damián’s home studio in the Poble Sec neighborhood of Barcelona with the sole desire to have fun, but the end result is a timeless masterpiece. A record that progressively increases in intensity, starting with the soft and sweet opening of “Un Nuevo Amanecer”, followed by the cosmic, cinematic folk of “Como El Viento” and “Atlantico”, beautifully rounded out by the spare tenderness of “Sem Dizer” on the A-side. The album reaches its maximum intensity on the B-side of the record with the insistent galloping of “Juntos y a Distancia” and the 140 BPM love letter to Latin jazz-funk “Cerca de Mi”, as well the elaborate bossa nova jam “Mar de Fora”.

Pedro Ricardo's recently acclaimed debut LP on Soundway Records (2023) as well as Damián’s solo efforts in broken beat fused with Latin rhythms as Karmasound have both garnered DJ support from Gilles Peterson, John Gómez and Mafalda, among many others. This album marks the first appearance of the two musicians together and, as the title indicates, heralds a new path in the fusion of traditional music with a contemporary vision.
