Carlo Maver Plus: Tracce d’Africa

Read "Tracce d’Africa" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Quarantun anni, bolognese, Carlo Maver è un'autentica forza della natura. Suona, intanto, due strumenti fra loro decisamente lontani, eterogenei, quali flauto e bandoneon (nel disco in oggetto alternati con rigore certosino: il primo dei brani dispari, il secondo nei pari) e poi è un viaggiatore instancabile.
