Mr Bongo proudly presents Ritmo Italiano ‘Unspoken Sounds of Italian Tamburo’ a captivating compilation of percussive-driven, Italian gems curated by Sardinian multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer, Gabriele Poso. A journey into the heart of Italian musical history, it celebrates Italy’s rich rhythmic traditions, showcasing a selection of genre-traversing, Italian treasures from the ‘60s to the early ‘90s. Honouring the timeless rhythms of Italian percussion masters, alongside a brand-new exclusive composition by Gabriele, ‘Ritmo Italiano’ shines a light on the universal, primal language of the drum. 

A connection sparked from an early age; percussion has always deeply resonated with Gabriele. It led to years of studying percussion traditions across Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, crafting his own songwriting skills in the process. An acclaimed producer and compiler, his releases on Yoruba Records, BBE and Soundway Records have garnered global support. Yet a growing need to rediscover the essence of his country’s cultural heritage laid the foundations for this new compilation.

In Gabriele’s own words, “Italy has always been a crossroads of civilizations, with influences from the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe converging over centuries. Ports like Naples, Genoa, and Venice played a crucial role as gateways for musical exchange, a melting pot of sounds and cultures brought by sailors, merchants and travellers. These influences blended with Italy’s own folk and religious traditions, creating Italy’s unique and emotionally resonant rhythms.”

Across the 12 absorbing tracks, there’s jazz influences, Italian library music aesthetics and experimental beats mixing with Afro-Cuban and Mediterranean rhythms. It’s a broad selection anchored by the drums. The synth-heavy, ‘80s jazz funk flavours of Gegè Munari's ‘Police Man’, sit side-by-side with the samba-infused ‘Napulitano D' 'O Brasil’ by Don Marino Barreto Jr. Tribal, earthly energy radiates from Naco’s ‘Volando Con Milton’, with Tullio De Piscopo serving up cosmic disco brilliance, and blistering jazz funk mastery coming courtesy of Agostino Marangolo. Taking the name of the compilation, a new original track by Gabriele, ‘Ritmo Italiano’, blends traditional rhythms with contemporary energy, Afro-Latin influences with Italian jazz essence. Recorded live in one take, it captures a raw, unfiltered vibe. 

“Each track tells a story, connecting the past with the present, and highlighting the deep-rooted traditions that shape Italy’s rhythms. The collection also offers a glimpse into the diversity of Italian music with a variety of styles from the organic, earthy beats to the more experimental and modern takes on traditional rhythms. It’s a reflection of how these rhythms have not only shaped Italian culture but also influenced global music.”

Rumor has it that this one was recorded in a closet at Mark’s house when Sean was his next-door neighbor. What a tune!

Lyrics:

What you thinking of?
Man, what you doing?
What you think you can do?
What you are
What you do
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor
Yeah, what you mean is what you get
Did you forget to know what the end is?
To begin clearing
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor
Dream machine
Did you get everything you asked for?
Dream machine
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
Dance floor, the dance floor
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Love's rage, broken page
Electric lights and glass bone nights
Electric lines run through your minds
Distractions with radio contraptions
Pipe ashes, night glasses
Tick tock, hear the wind lick the window
Ignited, you're invited

#OmRecords25Yyears
Growing, sprouting from the backbone
Dream machine
Mr. Jones, you don't know what you came for
Dream machine
Rattlesnake a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Dream machine
Dream machine
We are like those two mirrors
Steaming in the rain
Oh we are those two lovers
Holding each other's hands
Dream with me
Dream with me
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
Rattlesnake, a charm on the dance floor
The dance floor, the dance floor
What you thinking of?
What you doing?
What you think you can do?
What you are what you do
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor
