The new album by Zaira Zingone and Graziano Solinas, founders of the AlmaCanta project, was released on 7 December. It is called " Let the spirit bring you home" , an album recorded thanks to more than one hundred supporters through the crowdfunding platform "Produzioni dal Basso".
From December 20th you will be able to listen and purchase digitally on all the main online music stores. The physical format is currently available at Libreria Messaggerie Sarde in Sassari and Libreria Cyrano in Alghero.
In absolute preview, on 23 December in Osilo, at 6pm, in the enchanting space of the "La Rosa di Calliope" music school, guest of the cultural association "Il Respiro dell'arte", within the exhibition "Il Tè con the Artist” , the duo will present the new album, playing some songs live and talking to the audience in the room.
“Tea with the Artist” takes place while sipping tea and herbal teas and enjoying traditional desserts in the unusual setting of the Osile living rooms, openly challenging the barrier between public space and private space.
AlmaCanta was born in Sardinia, precisely between Sassari and Alghero, in 2010, from the meeting between Zaira, singer, lyricist and performer, and Graziano, composer, pianist and accordionist.
From their impromptu collaboration, a story develops that reaches today, in 2023, with three albums under their belt: "Legàmi", "Revive" and, indeed, the new album "Let the spirit bring you home".
«It will be like flying over the roofs of houses, caressing with your gaze every landscape, change, peculiarity, aware of the beauty, of the poignant poetry of living, knowing that suffering should never be wasted, but become light, vision, grace. Letting the spirit take us home, living as we deeply desire", comment Zaira Zingone and Graziano Solinas. In the liner notes, edited by Gabriele Verdinelli, we read: «And in the world of AlmaCanta you willingly get lost, behind an image, a metaphor of the lyrics or an unusual modulation that breaks dear, old good habits. Among other things, there is no rush to find the way again, curious and waiting for the next meeting, on a small/large journey in which the route is certainly no less important than the destination. It is a journey that paradoxically takes you back home, to your roots, to the simplicity of concrete life, not mediated by virtual representations; everything is immersed in a serene secular spirituality, a humanism of the individual integrated into nature and the primary cause of his own destiny."
