Serena Ferrara & Simone Mor | Kemana

Italian Jazz singer Serena Ferrara & Flamenco guitarist Simone Mor to release "Kemana", an explorative album born from the desire for a harmonic encounter between distant cultures. It will be released March 11, 2022 via VIBRA in CD and all digital formats

Kemana was born from the meeting of Serena Ferrara, a jazz singer with Sicilian origins, with the guitarist Simone Mor, a flamenco multi-instrumentalist who's always on the road. In Indonesian, with the word Kemana, we may ask somebody "where are you going".

The sound of this project doesn't have a defined place. It comes from the desire for a harmonic encounter between distant cultures, and from the curiosity to see "where is it going". A trip that leads to explore a soundscape beyond frontiers, to meet its extraordinary characters and to be guided through their stories.

All the songs of this album feature the Italian-Brazilian cellist Daniela Savoldi (Muse, Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica, Paola Turci, Lorenzo Monguzzi, Dente, Calibro 35, Meg) and the percussionist Luca Canali (Roy Paci, Fiorella Mannoia, Mauro Pagani, Gilson Silveira, Ana Flora, Mitoka Samba, Billy Cobham).

Other great guests took part in the recording, such as the talented Indian musician Varijashree Venugopal (Bobby McFerrin, Victor Wooten among her main collaborations), the bassist Nicola "Faso" Fasani (Elio e le Storie Tese), the Senegalese percussionist Dudù Kouate (Art Ensemble of Chicago) and the flutist Carlo Nicita. The album was recorded at il T.U.P. studio, Brescia, by Lorenzo Caperchi, mixed and mastered by producer Max Costa.
