Rooted in the musical traditions of Nigeria, Angola and Brazil and infused with contemporary European classical and jazz styles, SEMENTES is a colourful cocktail of infectiously funky rhythms and intimate soulful ballads peppered with free-jazz improvisation. SEMENTES is the work of afro-Brazilian percussionist and composer Adriano Adewale who steps out of his side-man role with the likes of Antonio Forcione, Monica Vasconcelos and Modeste Hughes to front his own outstanding international ensemble. Alongside Adriano Adewale on percussion and vocals, you get Australian Nathan Riki Thomson on double bass and flutes; Kadialy Kouyate from Senegal on Kora and vocals and fellow Brazilian Marcelo Andrade on sax, flutes and rabeca. Special guest artists: Italian guitar maestro Antonio Forcione and international jazz artist Gilad Atzmon, who also produces.
