Fabio Nobile, drummer and multi-instrumentalist with 25+ years of experience, blends West African traditions and jazz as core elements of his musical identity.
His upcoming new album 'Sankofa Soul' explores the connection between past and present, inspired by the Akan word “Sankofa” – meaning “to go back and fetch what is good”
On 'Kalakuta Republic', once again, we embark on a sonic journey through West Africa, with Nigeria beating at the heart of this musical tale. A heartfelt tribute to the self-proclaimed community, the legendary home of Fela, so that the rebellious spirit of the “Kalakuta Republic” may never be forgotten. This piece becomes the voice of the deepest essence of afro-jazz, wrapped in a hypnotic 12/8 rhythm, an echo of ancient African traditions. Its enveloping pulse intertwines with the boundless expressive freedoms of jazz, giving life to a vibrant and compelling dialogue, suspended between ancestral roots and modernity.
Perfect timing for Fela fans and companion to the 7" on Wah Wah 45s that came out on Friday, two different versions of the classic 'Zombie' recorded over 40 years apart (see review HERE).
Expect support from all DJ fans like Peterson, Forge, Beadle, Curtis, Parnell, Hill, Hectic and the like.
