Cienfuego's new concept album paying tribute to Morricone and Sergio Leone. This concept album takes listeners on a sonic journey that merges two seemingly distant worlds: the dusty, epic landscapes of the Italian western with the warm, deep rhythms and grooves of Roots Reggae.
The result of a long and meticulous sound research, the album blends traditional reggae elements — pulsating bass, guitars, organs, and drums — with folk and orchestral instruments typical of the wild west such as banjo, mandolin, violins, and percussion.
The record features prestigious collaborations with internationally acclaimed singers Luciano, Junior Kelly, and Mellow Mood. Among the key contributors are Valter Vincenti, guitarist known for his work with Alborosie, and Francesco Guadalupi, his trusted sound engineer, whose musical expertise and creative guidance were fundamental during the production.
“1826 Reloaded – A Reggae Western Opera” is more than an album; it is a narrative experience that transports the listener into a world of vast spaces and tensions, duels and reflections, told through an original and captivating musical language.
