Guretti
Guretti is the homonym first record of the musical collaboration between the accordionist Angelo Cacciolato and the visual artist and musician Tiziano Ciao. Tiziano plays a big wooden harp, similar to a santoor or a dulcimer, which he builds himself out of old drawers. Tuning to Angelo’s accordion, soon they found out how well the instruments blended together. Creating silence before sound, and space, and a delicate dialogue between the instruments, leading and following gently, in a beautiful, moving, mystical journey.
John Humphrey Coconut
John Humphrey Coconut was born in Barcelona in 1986. Self-taught musician, poet and painter. His musical style comes from blues, rock, funk, pop and tropicalism, born of it also songs full of color and with African touches. His poetry of romantic and cursed style, is crossed with the suffering of a schizophrenia that accompanies him in his writings. His style and pictorial motifs lie in a set of themes such as palm trees or naked women, in paintings full of intense chromatic nuances. Lover of the afrodescendant woman is an artist who has always learned in a solitary way and under the tendency of the tropical motif in all his thought and part of his art.
