Oltremura, the second CD by the trio formed by ASHTI ABDO, MANUEL BUDA and FABIO MARCONI, displays, from the opening track a reached maturity, testified by the presence of four original compositions, the first written entirely by the trio. The pieces express a very varied and refined compositional style with surprising polyrhythm, melancholic ballads, and energetic rhythms.The Mediterranean and Middle Eastern matrix, recognized by the three as the only musical origin of the trio, opens up to veiled excursions with a contemporary flavor and references to the Jewish nigun and some archaic form of blues. Everything develops with arrangements full of details and surprises, in sinuous paths that lead the listener to explore new solutions and timbre mixes.
