Coreto: Aljamia
ByOdd combinations, like flute against bass ("Kalenderi"), seem completely normal in Coreto's world, which thrives on the unexpected. While this band seems at home in moody environs, whether creating busy cross-melodic traffic or simply exploring a minor key arena, it's also capable of creating extreme beauty and joyous affairs. The luxuriant harmonies at the outset of "Aeroporto" are ambrosia for the ears, while "Danças a Leste" is an outright aural party.
The members of Coreto (a.k.a. The Porta-Jazz Association) have discovered what many such newly sprouted organizations across the world have realized. While it's nice to do your own thing, and everybody needs their own sound, strength comes not from the individual, but from the collective powers at play when these individuals band together to share their resources and skills.
