Village Live Records just released the debut self-titled LP from New Zealand-based Argentinian duo DROSAN. This genre-blending, 9-track album is a rich, cinematic, and fresh journey that seamlessly weaves together modern-day jazz and jazz-fusion with elements of hip-hop and the experimental spirit of the 70s. It also conveys clear stylistic choices, sounding original and well inspired. No surprise that is influenced by a diverse range of true legends, from contemporary trailblazers like Ezra Collective, Yussef Dayes and Kamaal Williams, to Chick Corea, Luis Alberto Spinetta and Astor Piazzolla - very interesting this how these Argentinian giants legacy is here honored. DROSAN delivers a powerful sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. The album, DROSAN ends up being a really strong debut that shows the duo's ability to honor their influences while creating something uniquely their own. We want more! Available on vinyl.
