Every so often, you stumble upon a hidden gem that captivates and enthralls from the first note. CinAmono’s self-titled album is one such treasure. Emerging from the vibrant jazz scene of Vilnius, this Lithuanian quintet blends jazz with world music and poetry, creating an enchanting auditory tapestry that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly new. With a lineup featuring Laura Budreckytė’s ethereal vocals and piano, Simonas Šipavičius’s versatile saxophones, Žygimantas Bačkus’s evocative guitar, Vytis Nivinskas’s anchoring bass, and Domantas Razmus’s dynamic drumming and percussion, CinAmono offers a rich and textured listening experience.
Recorded in March 2018 at Lithuanian LP Studio, the album showcases the group’s impressive musicianship and innovative arrangements. Tracks like "CinAmono" and "Sibilė" immediately draw you in with their melodic sophistication and rhythmic intricacy. "Ogguere," a reinterpretation of Gilberto Valdes’s composition, and "Šviesų birželio vidurnaktį," a mesmerizing blend of music by Vytautas Kernagis and poetry by Marcelijus Martinaitis, highlight the band's ability to infuse traditional forms with modern sensibilities. This album is a journey through soundscapes that are at once intimate and expansive, reflecting the band’s deep connection to their cultural heritage and their adventurous spirit.
