MUSTATamburi Parlanti LP

MUSTA presents an elaborate six track EP project, titled 'TamburiParlanti' which translates to 'Talking Drums' in English. The body ofwork marks a turning point in his career to make more than electronicmusic, and delves into a plethora of live music and field recordingsrecorded for the EP, ranging from polyrhythmic tribal drum-patterns toAfro-funk bass chords, congas and jazz-keyboard, played by localmusicians as well as himself.Musta's love for music began during his 11 years spent living in theDominican Republic. This encounter of Latin rhythms started the musicalgenre contamination that to this day distinguishes his productions. Inthis EP, like the rest of his releases, the music is diverse, tribal andhypnotic. Respectful of the past yet constantly innovative. This love ofthe past and future has led him to release edits and originals on staplelabels such as Nervous Records, Samosa Records.Music aside the EP artwork has significant meaning, the mask shown isthat of the ancient Mamuthone icon of Sardinian folklore which goes backfurther than 2000 years, defined as a representation of the collectivesoul of Sardinia, the ancient ritual of the Mamuthone creatures is thatof a rhythmic dance where 12 of the creatures dance together,representing the 12 months of the year. With this theme, Musta aims toconnect the dots of this pastime tradition into the EP, reflecting itvisually as well as through the music itself."Tamburi Parlanti EP is a collection of songs that I've made myselfaround the world, recording and collaborating with various musicians ofmany different nationalities. The music reflects my musical path inrecent years which draws strong inspiration from afro-funk and latindisco from the 70s and 80s. My intent is to create music that presents ajourney between the hottest Latin sounds, over to more African discorhythms.
