Voodoo Ramble

Following the well received ‘Home Again’ album, band leader Boris Zamba hooked up with guitarist Mick Pini at his House of Happiness studio in Germany.

The two guitarists immediately connected with their love of the blues. They plugged in, jammed and the sparks flew on a sparkling shuffle blues.

As Boris explains: “It’s been a while since the last album and I felt the time was right for a new collaboration.
It was the perfect time to meet Mick, as I wanted to get back to the blues and in his long career he’s played with some of the biggest names including B.B. King to Luther Allison.
The song is the kind of blues shuffle that naturally leads plenty of space for improvisation and that suited us both perfectly. I think it’s a great groove and the slick licks make this song a boomer, and I hope it makes you wanna dance.
Just let yourself flow with the beat, and you'll catch the rhythm.”
 
The single features Boris Zamba on guitar and vocal, Mick Pini on guitar,  groove drummer Damir Somen, and Neven Resnik on Hammond. It was mixed and produced by Dragutin Smokrovic-Smokva (aka The Fig).

Los Perlas

Los Perlas started in the spring of 2006, created by Josete (bass and vocals), Luisete (drums and backing vocals), a guitarist whose name does not transcend, and Miguel on vocals. This initial lineup established the leitmotif of a band destined to navigate the turbulent waters of change and musical innovation.

The year 2007 marked the first major transformation, with the arrival of David P. and David Enrique (nicknamed "Pescador de Sonrisas"), expanding the musical dimension of the group. However, it was the departure of both Davids and the arrival of Alfio on drums that reconfigured the band, moving Luisete towards new musical horizons as guitarist and lead vocals.

Stability seemed a dream when, at the end of 2008, the band was forced into an almost annual hiatus. The resurgence came with Alex on drums, but it was short-lived; His departure gave way to Ferrán H., marking the beginning of a new era of consolidation and first experiences on important stages, such as his debut in Cardedeu in 2009.

The real changing of the guard occurred in 2014, with the inclusion of Daiana and the duo Ferran A.-Txema, the latter becoming the new creative force after the departure of the old members. The Txema era brought not only new music, but also a new direction: "Siempre la liá el mismo," recorded in 2016, became a testament to his growing influence.

The period between 2017 and 2020 witnessed further changes: the departure of Daiana and David P., the arrival and departure of Laura, and the consolidation of Txema not only as a composer but also as the lead voice of Los Perlas, with Campi contributing new textures on the guitar. This stage was marked by a search for identity, finally crystallized in the creative alchemy between Txema and Campi.

Currently, the departure of Ferran A. and Laura has only strengthened the core of Los Perlas: Josete, Txema, Campi and Sergi. The latter, a multi-talented drummer and backing vocalist, joined in November 2022, injecting vitality and harmony both on stage and in the studio, leading to the creation of acclaimed singles such as "I love coffee" and "Cazadora".

The release of the video clip for "I love coffee" in February 2024 is not just another chapter in the story of Los Perlas; It is a testament to their resilience and ability to reinvent themselves. Today, the band is immersed in the production of a new album, symbolizing not only its evolution but also its position as a beacon of creativity and cohesion in modern music. The story of Los Perlas is a tale of metamorphosis and passion, a musical journey that continues to defy expectations and define the spirit of true artistic innovation.

Sano Hill

"Feel Love" is a deep expression of the power of love within us all to connect and overcome and is crucial to the wellbeing and future of our world.

In a time of great instability, war, and potential environmental catastrophe, this song is an appeal to 'feel love' again as a starting point for how we respond appropriately to what is going on in the world. The lyrics are spare and direct - but hopefully clear. They are inspired by what is going on today - the upcoming season of goodwill and the journeys home that many people take to family and friends is also an inspiration - but also the many millions around the world who have been forced from their homes (particularly in Ukraine but also parts of Africa, Asia and beyond) and the need to remember them also.

Sano Hill is an acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter based in Galway currently recording his debut album. His songs are inspired by life, love and loss and his work has been released to international critical acclaim, including on the compilation albums 'Origin: See the Light', 'New Horizons', and 'Inundations' (which also featured music from leading international acts, including Josh Ritter, Ron Sexsmith, Lloyd Cole, Damien Rice, Mundy and The Frames). His single releases to date - "Feel Love", "Sing Out Loud", "Circlewalk”, “The Climb”, “Starting Over” and "Dancer" - have already received wide praise internationally and have drawn huge interest from listeners around the world with over 310, 000 streams of his songs on Spotify alone since January 28 2022 (the release date of his first single "The Climb") with a further over 15000 views of his related music videos on his YouTube channel. 

Selected reviews of his music are available online here: https://sanohillsongs.wixsite.com/sano-hill/reviews) with a full EPK here: https://sanohillsongs.wixsite.com/sano-hill 

The forthcoming album (titled “If Not Now, When?”) was released in Autumn 2023 and charts the course of a relationship from hopeful beginnings, to emotional crises, breakup and recovery. His seventh single ‘Time Out’ charts the story of a singersongwriter trying to make a living and dreaming of success. Set in Galway city, the track was widely acclaimed when an earlier version was released on compilation album 'Origin: See the Light'. Leading Irish music magazine Hot Press remarked "...best of all, my favourite track, 'Time Out' ... daringly tries to capture the sound, sense and smell of Galway in a similar vein to Van Morrison's finest compositions about his native Belfast." ‘Time Out’ has a full-band arrangement but with Hill's acoustic rock sensibilities and extraordinary vocal at its core. It was produced by award winning Irish producer Larry Hogan, with final mixing and mastering completed by celebrated engineer and producer Braddon Williams whose previous clients include Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, Mark Ronson, Il Divo, Wyclef Jean, Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson, P Diddy, The Script and many more. Sano Hill “is blessed with a strong and distinctive voice” (Galway Advertiser) and his work has been described as defining “a timeless recipe for original guitar music: inventive, humanist lyrics sung from the gut, then embedded in rhythms to barrage or soothe the soul" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
