by Nenad Georgievski
Manuel “Anga" Diaz Echu Mingua World CircuitNonesuch---> 2005 Miguel “Anga" Diaz's debut is one of those special recordings that transcend genres. Although Echu Mingua is deeply rooted in his Afro-Cuban heritage, Diaz devilishly injects a healthy dose of tempered anarchy that easily escapes the confines of tradition. ...
Tre piccole gemme di giada inglese: Chitinous Ensemble - Chitinous / Mike Westbrook - Love Songs / Michael Gibbs - Just Ahead
by AAJ Italy Staff
Diciamolo subito, la giada inglese non esiste. E se qualcuno vi dicesse il contrario siamo certi che sarebbe una invenzione del marketing.

Il progetto Masada tra (auto)celebrazione e rinnovamento
by AAJ Italy Staff
Arriva un momento nella carriera di un musicista in cui occorre guardarsi indietro e attorno, fare i conti con quanto si è prodotto negli anni, con il proprio pubblico e il proprio successo, con la propria vena creativa.
