Que Bom

الوصف

Product Description Italian piano genius Stefano Bollani's album 'Que Bom' is a genuine hymn to life marked by sparkling liveliness and (contagious) joy. It mainly consists of Bollani's own original tunes and distinctive melodies strongly influenced and informed by Brazilian music culture, which Bollani has always cherished since the very beginning of his rich, multifaceted crackerjack music making and dexterous playing. On 'Que Bom' Bollani is joined by the same outstanding Brazilian rhythm section as in his earlier, extremely successful Carioca project (EmArcy Records, 2008) - Jorge Helder (double bass), Jurim Moreira (drums) and Armando Marçal (percussion) - plus Thiago da Serrinha (percussion), but here he is also joined by the guest stars Caetano Veloso, João Bosco, Jaques Morelenbaum and Hamilton de Holanda. The CD packaging, an elegant and exquisite 6-side DigiSleeve with an 8-page booklet, contains the lyrics of the songs with Caetano Veloso and João Bosco, photos of the merry Rio recording session by Vinícius Giffoni and extraordinary pictures from Codex Seraphinianus by Italian artist and designer Luigi Serafini. 'Que Bom', entirely produced by Bollani, is the first album to be released by his own label Alobar. He has previously recorded for labels such as ECM, Decca, EmArcy and Act.
