Food (2023), produced jointly by Paolo Fresu and Omar Sosa for Tǔk Music, completes the trilogy of the duo’s previous works Alma (2012) and Eros (2016). With contribution from various guests, it investigates the theme of food and its world, narrating it in music and treating it from the perspective of taste, aesthetics, and ethics. For an entire year, the sounds of cellars and restaurants were recorded as well as the voices of those who work in these places. Mechanical sounds of presses and delicate clinking of glasses, oil frying, wine poured into a glass or a knife cutting a carrot as well as narrative voices in Italian, Sardinian, Friulian, Spanish, French, English, Japanese. These are tales of recipes, culinary settings and sociability. Food obviously wants to investigate the pleasure of taste, conviviality, discovery and dialogue, but also the importance of healthy eating, as well as reflect on the global situation of food on the Planet and its precarious sustainability.
The duo composed of Paolo Fresu and Omar Sosa is now one of the best known and loved groups, both in Italy and abroad, capable of creating sonic and conceptual bridges between two seas and two continents and of refining, concert after concert, their own musical proposal. Fresu and Sosa dance; they dance in a Latin way around the winning mix of jazz, Cuban music, Africa, and world music that they have managed to create. And if Fresu is now that important icon of contemporary music that everyone recognizes, an increasingly stimulating and wide-open horizons in Sosa is surprising. The almost polyphonic structure and the extreme care, in terms of sound, of the new album are reflected in a live performance with multiple inputs, fun, profound and technically impeccable.
