Fame Di Vento is Manuel Zurria's latest work. A triple CD to

evoke the many suggestions and projects that have taken

place in recent years, full of collaborations, of the Sicilian

flautist. Fame Di Vento is also an idealized homage to Alighiero

Boetti, a nomad by culture and vocation. In his footsteps,

Manuel draws on the most diverse cultures, from the

Lithuanian mystics to India and Sicily, from just-intonation to

European-style minimalism. As he has already done in the past,

Zurria immerses himself in the music that responds to his

personal interests, making it his own, regardless of the

instrumental destination and proposing it with personalized

versions, built in the studio on multitrack. A thunderous

photograph of the moment to reflect on the movements

taking place with a still sound image of rare power.
