About "Focused"
Thirteen new tracks are found in Cayetano's latest album. A
glance at Argentina's tango club, London's smoky pubs,
Barcelona's underground suburb vibe and the spirit of
Parisian street cafes, could best describe the cinematic
aesthetic of this album.
Piano, trumpet, classic guitars, electronic sounds and
ethereal vocals worked together, in order to create this
multicoloured sound puzzle.
The album opens beautifully with "Mathematical sorrow", where
Latin-American influences are visibly clear and continues
with the use of the melodica in the next track, "Sweet Poke",
which activates our wishful thinking. The amazing voice of
Themis Veleni in "Las Sirenas" leads our thoughts to the most
touching moments of Pedro Almodovar. The already known theme
of "Stretto Cafe '06" by Giorgos Stavrianos, is given here
with a different dynamic and an almost political sense,
honouring the voice of Subcomandante Marcos.
On the other side, "Stay" consists a little path to the more
sensitive side of its creator. In "Red Winter I" and "Red
Winter II", the mastery piano melody could rivet any possible
audience. "After All" combines bossa nova to the Mexican
ranchera, whereas "Spiritual Sun" and "Focused" play games
with some really funky grooves. "La Poupee" and "Une histoire
Si Petite", supported by the brilliant performance of Themis
Veleni, apart from their theatrical style are kind of sexy as
well.
With this first release, Sala Sonora Records manages to make
clear its presence in the music field, not only the Greek one
but also abroad, receiving some very positive comments by
several foreign radio stations and Press. Through "Focused",
Sala Sonora aims to define its artistic point of view.
At the end of the day, a description could never replace a
"focused" listening of a new record, so press the play button
and enjoy!
