by Vincenzo Roggero
Sarà anche l'album di debutto ma in Golden Age il chitarrista Nir Felder si dimostra solista maturo, compositore interessante e leader convincente.

Le composizioni si materializzano in un repertorio trasversale ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Piccolo capolavoro di minimalismo vocale (ma anche strumentale), quest'opera seconda della giovane cantante coreana (dopo Yeahwon, del 2010, dedicato al Brasile e come tale insignito di una nomination al Latin Grammy) si muove lungo la sottile linea che va dal duetto, alternativamente con i suoi due dirimpettai, al trio, suo traguardo massimo. Il canto di Yeahwon ...

Yeahwon Shin: Lua Ya
by John Kelman
Korean-born now New York-resident singer Yeahwon Shin leaves the largely Brazilian-informed repertoire of her 2010 ArtistShare debut, Yeahwon, behind for a most worthy return to her roots with Lua Ya, her ECM debut that, released late in the summer of 2013, is still worthy of a look as the new year begins.
