Aktuala - La Terra
Review by Conrad Deleeuw
La Terra, the album by Aktuala, is a beautiful and unique blend of world music, jazz, and psychedelic rock. The album features a wide range of instruments, including flutes, sitars, tablas, and other percussion instruments, creating a rich and diverse sound that is both exotic and familiar.
The album is a journey through different cultures and musical traditions, with each track offering a unique and immersive experience. The opening track, "Tappeto Volante," sets the tone for the album with its hypnotic rhythms and swirling melodies. The album continues with "Dejanira," a haunting and beautiful track that features the mesmerizing voice of a female vocalist.
Other standout tracks include "Sovrapposizione di Immagini," which features a driving beat and a catchy melody, and "Circo Beat," which is a playful and upbeat track that showcases the band's versatility and creativity.
