ROMANTIQUE DUNIYA | Francesco Mascio (Master Studio 192khz-24bit)

An immersive sonic journey through diverse musical landscapes, ROMANTIQUE DUNIYA uncovers the rich tapestry of cultural exchanges that have shaped music around the world.

There is a hidden world, that of music, carved out by men who have traveled ancient paths, bringing their cultural traditions from the Far East, blending them with those encountered along the way, in the new territories they have crossed.

The ten original compositions of Romantique Duniya tell of these ancient travelers, the territories they explored, the unknown traditions 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, enriching the narrative of the album are the contributions of a diverse set 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 artistry and deep passion for exploring the infinite possibilities of music. The album invites listeners into an unforgettable sonic delivery, where ancient traditions converge with contemporary sensibilities, creating a symphony of cultural richness and emotional resonance.
