“Musician Marco Santos presents his album Evocations in a live concert. Marco is a musician of vast predispositions, a virtuoso multi-percussionist, an inspired pianist and a visionary composer and anyone who sits in the audience can easily check these attributes. What stands out when listening to this project is the tranquility that permeates most of the themes and that sometimes refers to an almost cinematic perception of time, which contributes to a certain stability of the thematic proposals, both at a rhythmic and melodic-harmonic level. In front of us are wide spans, wide plains, large lakes and then life appears that stands out among reeds, brooms, or discreet rocky agglomerations. with new changes that are apparently innocent, but which transport the narrative to other places.
We speak of a kind of nomadic immobility, something that moves slowly, as if in levitation, from landscape to landscape, which becomes unbalanced here and there with non-invasive incidents, as if to maintain the flow of a contemplative thread that never tangles. about himself. We got to have cinema, even without a physical image…
And so this ship sails from port to port, without haste, always taking care of those who listen, in a commitment to the beauty of the world, underlined, deconstructed, surprised, drawing our route with the majesty of epiphanies.” – John Lucas
