Memories of Sada – Live at Tuneyadets

 
This recording features Ángel Ontalva and the core of Vespero (Alexander Kuzovlev on guitar, Ark Fedotov on bass, and Ivan Fedotov on drums) live at Tuneyadets Hall in Astrakhan on May 17, 2025, just a couple of weeks ago, performing compositions from the two studio albums Ángel and Vespero made together, Carta Marina and Sada, celebrating the beginnings of an extensive collaboration dating back more than eight years. They are raw, direct, and powerful versions, without embellishments, going to the heart of the compositions. I hope you enjoy it. / Ángel Ontalva

New release featuring Vespero

In 1246, Giovanni da Pian del Carpine was the first Italian to reach Saraj Batu, just north of the mouth of the Volga, where he met the Mongol leader Batu Khan. Travelling overland 4915 kilometres, 777 years later, Dario Lo Cicero and Mila Di Addario arrive in nearby Astrakhan, for the easternmost leg of their long journey. There they meet with three musicians from the band Vespero, for an improvisation session. The musical understanding was beyond their expectations, and here is released the recording of that day. 

Vespero — Isosessions (VMS)

In 2020, during the pandemic, we made a series of videos “Isocessions” ( youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIm0OsXHdqpntuxaS47PGlDJ72Ec643wS)

Every week, in our home studios, we composed new music and on Saturdays we showed the finished video with new composition. Later, some stuff was re-arranged, re-written and added to “Songo” album. Isosessions is a collection of all music that was written during that period. released November 17, 2022
