Notes:
Neapolitan duo Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina are Nu Genea, masters of the Balearic form and musical wizards who transport you to a better place in an instant. Four years later their last album they finally return with more sumptuous sounds in the form of Bar Mediterraneo, which swings open its doors and invites you in for a cocktail or two. Acoustic instruments, voices and synthesizers all come together on this funk, soul, Afro, Latin and jazz fusion and it's exactly the sort of record you needing your life when the temps begin to rise.
