Gilfema is West African guitarist Lionel Loueke, Hungarian drummer Ferenc
Nemeth and Swedish-Italian bassist Massimo Biolcati. Their name is an
amalgam of the leading syllables of their first names (note: Lionel's
middle name is Gilles, which he is more commonly addressed as back home in
Benin).
The sound of three vibrant cultures flowing as one over an open tributary
of jazz, effortlessly casting spells with compositions as intricate and
purposeful as they are soothing and meditative.
Lionel's astoundingly singular artistic sensibilities have rendered him a
high profile contributor to acclaimed recordings and tours with Herbie
Hancock, Terence Blanchard and Charlie Haden.
The Gilfema sound weaves quite the hypnotic tapestry. Lionel's haunting
voice, resonant hollow body guitar and keenly rhythmic sensibilities mesh
with Massimo's fluidly melodic acoustic bass playing and the cornucopia of
complex patterns that Ferenc taps out on drums and percussion.
The sound of three vibrant cultures flowing as one over an open tributary
of jazz, effortlessly casting spells with compositions as intricate and
purposeful as they are soothing and meditative.
"This is music that can be appreciated for both it's obvious skill and its
power to entertain." /Stanley Crouch
