Gabriele Mirabassi

DIGIPACK

As both Gabriele Mirabassi and Roberto Taufic have recognised, there is a more to be said in a single, gracefully positioned note, than there is in virtuosic flurries of sound. What might, at first hearing, seem like a rather gentle and unhurried performance, continues to yield new layers and impressions with each successive visit. The chase elements of the title track are entirely in the service of a tune that will stay with your forever, even if you can’t whistle that fast. It would be redundant to speculate which man brings what to the music. Taufic’s Honduran/Brazilian background (which is actually more culturally complex than that) suggests he might be behind the chôro elements, but Mirabassi understands that language just as well and intuitively. The two men previously shared their common ground on a record called Um Brasil diferente, a title that nicely sums up what you’re holding here as well". (Brian Morton)
