Nessun Dolore: afro cosmic solidarity with Italy


This is a tribute DJ mix to an alternative even underground style of electronic dance music that deeply exudes the Italian culture and mentality, but it also acquires an international character. I'm talking about the afro-cosmic style, that was created and evolved from the late 70s to the 90s, by underground DJs of northern Italy, chiefly the geniouses of Daniele Baldelli, Beppe Loda and DJ Mozart (Claudio Rispoli). However, the roots of afro-cosmic are located during the 70s, when mainly Neapolitan artists, for instance Tony Esposito and Tullio De Piscopo, merged prog-jazz rock with african rhythms, traditional southern Italian music and a dose of avant-garde. Nowadays the afro-cosmic style flourishes all around the world and of course the Italian artists are at its forefront: Baldelli along with Marco Dionigi, Mushrooms Project, Marvin & Guy, Tiger & Woods, Bottin and more. 

So,  this set includes tracks mainly by the new generation of Italian afro-cosmic musicians and producers, but also remakes of classic Italian trobadours, along with some amazing chiefly British guests. 

This work is also an act of solidarity with the Italian people who suffer greatly by the coronovirus crisis. I really love Italian culture, from the arts to gastronomy and my travels to Italy were fascinating. 

I hope that Italy will overcome the crisis quickly and recover.
