Romantique Duniya - Francesco Mascio

An immersive sonic journey through diverse musical landscapes, ROMANTIQUE DUNIYA unveils the rich tapestry of cultural exchanges that have shaped music worldwide.
Hidden beneath the surface of music lies a world traversed by ancient travelers, who carried their cultural traditions from the Far East, blending them with those encountered along their journeys, in the new territories they crossed.

The ten original compositions of Romantique Duniya tell the stories of these ancient travelers, the lands they explored, the unfamiliar traditions they encountered and absorbed, but above all, they speak of the myriad emotions that the very essence of travel evokes in the human spirit. "Romantique Duniya" alludes to the universal language of music that transcends cultural boundaries.

In addition to Italy, the album is enriched by contributions from a diverse ensemble of musicians from Ireland, Iran, Libya, and Gambia. These virtuosos infuse the music with the authenticity of their traditional instruments, adding depth and dimension to Mascio's compositions. The juxtaposition of culturally diverse instruments underscores the composer's unwavering belief in the enrichment that comes from the confluence of distinct musical traditions and cultures. 
This harmonious blend serves as a powerful testament to the notion of music as a universal language, transcending borders and fostering a profound sense of liberation.

ROMANTIQUE DUNIYA is a testament to Mascio's artistic skill and his deep passion for exploring the infinite possibilities of music. The album invites listeners on an unforgettable sonic journey, where ancient traditions converge with contemporary sensibilities, creating a symphony of cultural richness and emotional resonance.
