Gabriele Poso, Various

Ritmo Italiano is a hypnotic, percussive deep dive into the rich, understated world of Italian rhythm. Gabriele Poso and fellow contributors treat the tamburo not as mere accompaniment but as a language itself—raw, intimate, and full of nuance. Each track pulses with organic energy: syncopated hand drums, resonant congas, and delicate percussive textures combine to form landscapes that feel both earthy and otherworldly.

The album thrives on subtle tension and release, embracing silence as much as sound. It’s meditative yet propulsive, an exploration of rhythm as storytelling, where every beat carries a narrative, a breath, a heartbeat. Ritmo Italiano is a quiet revolution in percussion—an ode to the unseen, unspoken power of rhythm.
