"Koinè" is the new album by Pellegrino & Zodyaco, a record that explores the desire to escape by interpreting it as an act of emancipation, an aimless journey in search of creative freedom. The demonstration that escapism, when it is conscious, can bring us back to the heart of things. Inspired by Éloge de la fuite by Henri Laborit, the album embarks on a journey to discover a 'common language' (Koinè), blending Neapolitan roots with a global and contemporary musical vision. It blends melodic traditions with disco, funk, jazz fusion, and world music, experimenting with vintage instruments, ethnic percussion, and Mediterranean atmospheres. Pellegrino, a pioneer of the new school Neapolitan sound, after 4 years since his last LP “Morphé” (2020) continues the path started with "Zodyaco I" (2018), painting an authentic portrait of modern Naples and celebrating musical contamination as a form of creative euphoria.

Matt says: The Naples massive return in flamboyant style as you'd expect! There really is something in the water (or is it the olive oil?!) down in south Italy; and here you have two of the finest currently doing 'IT' in breath-taking form.TRACK LISTING
