TORINO: Italian musician Luca Morino has unveiled his latest album, “DeWest,” offering listeners a unique blend of sounds that transcend time and convention. The album, characterized by analog guitars, percussion, and Farfisa organs, is supported by an electronica element, creating a mesmerizing experience for the audience.
“DeWest” is a musical exploration of the Far West, a dreamlike and deconstructed territory situated in the Lower Piedmont region, which intriguingly corresponds to the Alta Langa. Morino’s music transports listeners to a world where ancient traditions intertwine with modern urban influences, creating a rich and immersive sonic landscape.
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, Morino has crafted a genre-defying sound that he describes as “voodoo folk.” This cinematic and ritualistic style is reminiscent of the works of iconic directors such as Sergio Leone and Werner Herzog, adding a layer of depth and narrative to the album.
Featuring a talented lineup of musicians, including Paolo Angelo Parpaglione on sax and Gianluca Cato Senatore on bass, “DeWest” is a collaborative effort that showcases Morino’s musical prowess and artistic vision. The album also includes guest appearances from Stefano Piri on whistle and trumpet, and Giorgio Boffa on double bass, among others.
With tracks like “Mina nella scia,” “Selvatico,” and “Dancing Paradiso,” “DeWest” offers a diverse and captivating listening experience that is sure to resonate with audiences. The album is a testament to Morino’s creativity and dedication to his craft, solidifying his position as a unique and innovative musician in the industry.
“DeWest” is now available on the Vox Creola label, inviting listeners to embark on a musical journey unlike any other.
