about

Rootstrings is a first single that opens the artist’s experimental scene through his acoustic project in which his interpretation of world music offers us a rich folk cocktail with an interesting groove. From the influence of Jazz and the more dynamic and suggestive rhythms of this moving sensitive composition, this artistic piece does not allow the senses of the listener’s body to remain indifferent.

This piece invites two of the timeless musical styles of the folklore scene to participate in this vibrant game. Starting with the African roots that have impregnated the world with their musical influence through an unconditional rhythmic nature, a culture of incredible ritual character and innate expressiveness is defined.

With this, the artist reveals his studies and influences through a harmonious instrumental variety that will end up merging in this single with another great folklore, traditional Irish music. This time from the European scene, this genre of great identity and tradition is presented to us through a 7/4 adaptation of the popular Irish Reels that have lit up such important musical genres of the 20th century, such as country and rock.

This is the Extended Version of 7 minutes, check this link for a shorter Radio Version of only 5min (sototunes.bandcamp.com/track/rootstrings-radio-version)
