Ivan Conti

Katmandu showcases Ivan Conti — the legendary drummer of Azymuth — at the helm of a deep, percussive journey that bridges Brazilian rhythms and cosmic funk.

Across this 12″, Conti’s iconic drum patterns intertwine with grooving basslines, lush synth textures, and melodic interplay, creating a soundscape that is both hypnotic and propulsive.

The title track and accompanying B-side move fluidly between samba-funk sophistication and experimental rhythm explorations, reflecting Conti’s decades of experience crafting grooves that are both precise and organic.

Every drum hit, cymbal shimmer, and bass pulse is meticulously placed, drawing listeners into a kinetic, late-night sonic universe.

Pressed on high-quality 12″ vinyl, Katmandu is essential for collectors, DJs, and anyone seeking the nexus of Brazilian jazz-funk, groove-driven experimentation, and timeless rhythmic mastery.
