Kuba Sound System Proyecto is an artistic vision in which the Cuban tradition (Salsa, Rumba, Yoruba Liturgy) are mixed with several other ethnics sounds (Mediterranean, Eastern, etc), including electronica and dj-turntablist-stylings. It remains spontaneous and it is an extension of existential musical search. Moreover, I have evidenced and developed the ritual use of the drum and the "sciamanico" and "maieutico" concepts of music. Some songs are in Spanish, except 3 tracks in Neapolitan, beyond the “Giovannese” that all use. This work featurings Nino D' Angelo and Marcello Colasurdo, musicians that take part in the important realization of the album. Note: The video on this page features an extended tumbadora "conga" solo by Giovanni Imparato while sitting-in with international Timba star Issac Delgado on Issac's hit "Deja Que Roberto Te Toque".
