Danzé by Arnaldo Prete
In 2013, I travelled to the Congo with the journalist Louise Culot (www.louiseculot.com) to record "Danzé” with a group of amazing local musicians and engineer.
It has been a unique experience. Despite working with very little means, we succeeded in recording a great piece of sound, an afro-italo-latin sound, our sound!
After many years playing other people's music, my dream to release an album featuring my compositions finally came true!
Back in Europe, we completed the work with the mixing and mastering of the album by the skilled German engineer and musician Jonas Fehrenberg (http://jonasfehrenberg.wix.com/home).
In the meanwhile, the rising Spanish visual artist Alvaro Martinez Alonso (http://www.ama.net23.net/web/) designed the album cover and the booklet.
