Antonio Adolfo - Hybrido - From Rio to Wayne Shorter '2017

Tracks list

The mixing of races and different cultures is irreversible in todays world.
In music, this trend has been happening for a long time and has resulted in a
very healthy hybridism of different musical genres.
The improvising musician can experience this richness intensely, because while
he creates there is no time to produce this or that label. On the contrary, he
can accommodate different sounds and cultures immediately, even without
realizing it.
It is a very difficult task to describe what is happening in an interaction
between musicians without experiencing it — as is the case with the
musicians on this CD.

The music of the great Wayne Shorter is predominant in this recording. It has
especially inspired me through his melodies and harmonies, which have continued
to influence musicians of several generations and continents.
On the other hand, music from different cultures has also influenced him,
whether in his compositions or magisterial interpretations as a saxophonist,
during the last several decades.
The repertoire presented here is mostly from the 60s and — as incredible
as it may seem — is of an unusual relevance, giving us the chance to
travel musically, infinitely.

I was also hooked as a composer and arranger, and encouraged to create something
that would fit into this healthy mix.

Finally, the musicians and I gave the musical mixture our viralata (mongrel) and
mestizo touch, to translate it into what is presented on this new CD, HYBRIDO
– from Rio to Wayne Shorter.
