Passion Congo - Ray Lema - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Passion Congo, an exceptional musical event celebrating both the release of the eponymous album and the 80th birthday of Ray Lema, an iconic figure in world music. An internationally renowned composer and pianist, Ray Lema has forged a unique musical language over the decades, shaped since childhood by the European classical repertoire and the musical traditions of the more than two hundred ethnic groups of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His art lies in this remarkable ability to fuse seemingly distant worlds, thereby creating musical bridges between Africa and Europe. For this major production, Ray Lema has assembled an ensemble of six top-tier Italian musicians: a string quartet, a soprano saxophone, and percussion. This formation, both classical and daring, offers an ideal setting to explore the richness of a singular compositional style where African and European traditions meet in captivating harmony.
