ALBARE BEYOND BELIEF (ALFI RECORDS 050423CD)

This album is a journey through Albare's rich musical landscape. His guitar, as always, is not merely an instrument but a voice that speaks of life, experiences, and the unspoken narratives of the heart. The collaboration with his long-time collaborator, pianist Phil Turcio, is in full display here; you are in he presence of two masters having a musical conversation to the delight of the listeners. Beyond Belief invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world where melody reigns supreme, offering a unique experience that is quintessentially Albare.

Production:

Beyond Belief is produced by Albare and his long-time colleague and collaborator Phil Turcio. This duo's partnership in the studio brings a richness and depth to the album, highlighting a shared vision that has been refined over 30 years of collaboration.

Featured Musicians:

Phil Turcio: A key figure on the album, Phil not only co-produces but also showcases his exceptional talent on the piano. His contributions extend to some of the composition.

Phil Rex: On bass, Phil Rex brings a familiar synergy to the album. Fans will recognize the dynamic interplay between Rex and Albare from their previous collaboration on the 2017 album Dream Time. His mastery of the bass adds a profound layer to the album's sound.

Pablo Bencid: Handling the drums, Paulo Bencid has been a decade-long collaborator with Albare. First appearing with Albare on The Road Ahead in 2013, Bencid's rhythmic sophistication and flair are evident throughout Beyond Belief, providing a solid foundation for the album's intricate melodies and harmonies.

Lionel Cole: The formidable vocalist lends his voice to the track "I Believe."
