Banaba by Mirko Signorile, Marco Messina

"BANABA”: MESSINA SIGNORILE’S ELECTRO-JAZZ POETRY"

Italian pianist Mirko Signorile and 99 Posse’s Marco Messina weave the sound of their own keys together in “BANABA”, their new electro-jazz guest-filled album, out on May 6 on Auand Records (distributed by
Goodfellas/Believe).

Intersections are where every brilliant innovation is. Here is where music echoes, generating crossover. When an electric sound made up of buttons, levers, and knobs meets with a piano melody, free to jump
above and below the synth lines, the frame is broken, and so are the definitions. The time has come to experiment a new electro-jazz dimension. MESSINA SIGNORILE explore new forms of life and sound
forces.

As in an ancient and brotherly alliance, 99 POSSE’s Marco Messina and Italian pianist Mirko Signorile condense their rhythmic energy and sound poetry in “BANABA”, out on May 6, 2016 on Auand Records, supported by Puglia Sounds and distributed by Goodfellas and Believe.

“BANABA” is an 11-track blend of sounds and voices made with the invaluable collaborations of important and internationally renowned artists, such as Ursula Rucker, Black Cracker, Erica Mou, Juliana
Maruggi, Paolo Fresu and Vertere String Quartet.

In December 2015, the very first track “Breathing” anticipated the album and featured Ursula Racker’s amazing voice. A second single was released in April 2016, “Dust”: a disturbing urban-like track
featuring rapper Black Cracker and Vertere String Quartet.
