Hermon Mehari

In the attempt to pioneer a new sound while exploring his Eritrean origins, trumpeter Hermon Mehari composed an album entirely influenced by the harmonies, rhythms, and melodies of Eritrean music. However this work, "Asmara" (Komos), doesn't only come from his musical side-- the songs have an emotional bent and express the different aspects of his perspectives towards his relationship with family and the culture. The compositions are interpreted with personality and fervor by pianist/vibraphonist Peter Schlamb, bassist Luca Fattorini, and drummer Gautier Garrigue. Mehari brings on legendary Eritrean vocalist Faytinga as a guest on two numbers.

Hermon Mehari, Alessandro Lanzoni: Arc Fiction

Read "Arc Fiction" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Dopo aver lavorato assieme in altri contesti--per esempio nel progetto di Michelangelo Scandroglio In the Eyes of Whales--Alessandro Lanzoni e Hermon Mehari registrano un lavoro in duo, undici brani originali (solo “Donna Lee" di Charlie Parker è un omaggio alla tradizione) e in larga misura improvvisati.
