Mario Poletti – Drums & Bass … and Mandolin (IMusician Digital, 2024)
Mario Poletti presents a unique project that combines mandolin vibes with drums and bass. Just to be crystal clear, we’re talking about the real deal, acoustic drums and bass, none of that electronic stuff that sounds kinda similar.
Drawing from his rich experiences with acclaimed groups in the Italian folk rock scene such as Lou Dalfin and Teres Aoutes String Band, Poletti effectively infuses elements of African-American music including blues, funk, jazz, and Latin rhythms. His imaginative repertoire keeps the listener invested.
Drums & Bass … and mandolin features original compositions where the quintessential Italian instrument, the mandolin, takes center stage. Poletti’s music embodies a fusion of traditional and contemporary influences, resulting in a distinctively Italian sound that bridges the gap between past and present.
Musicians: Mario Poletti on mandolin; Marco Piovano on electric bass; and Daniele Bianciotto on drums.
