BOSSA AMOR (Wave Of Love) is a delicate and adorable Bossa Jazz song composed and arranged by Roberto Tola, a declaration of the author’s love for this musical genre, omnipresent in the repertoire and in all of Roberto’s musical albums.
The light rhythm, the delicate harmony and the sinuous melody give the listener a refined and enveloping atmosphere.
BOSSA AMOR still showcases the compositional talent of Roberto Tola on the guitar, as in the previous works of the Italian composer, originally from the island of Sardinia (Itay).
For this new musical project Roberto has called around him some of his favorite musicians, already present in other recordings of the Sardinian guitarist, such as the Italian-Argentine pianist Luciano De La Rosa and the omnipresent Maciek Szczyciński on electric bass.
Completing the band is also the drummer, also of Italian-Argentine origin, Lucio Cheli, in his first collaboration with the Sardinian artist.
Roberto Tola’s inspiration for this song comes from his trip to Brazil, completed in 2015, which definitively sealed Roberto’s love for Bossa Nova and Latin American music, a path that began at a young age, consolidated and enriched over time also through his travels to Central America: Cuba, Santo Domingo and Mexico among all.
The release of BOSSA AMOR is a prelude to Roberto Tola’s next album, scheduled for release in 2024, the title of which still remains secret so far.
Fans of the artist can, however, be reassured by the fact that this new ongoing project is a new musical journey that extends beyond the boundaries of conventional jazz, of which the extraordinary soundscapes that will characterize this new work can already be revealed.
Roberto Tola’s compositions have always received international critical acclaim, and his mastery of the guitar is widely recognized.
With numerous awards to his name, Tola continues to push and extend the boundaries of contemporary jazz, infusing his music with passion, innovation and an unmistakable Italian flavor.
Finally, in addition to the musical aspect of this new single by Roberto, the author is keen to underline some other elements that moved him to compose BOSSA AMOR.
The title already includes two of these elements, they are the “Bossa Nova”, which we have already mentioned above, and represented by the image of the acoustic guitar in the official cover of the song, and “Amor”(Love), represented, again on the cover, by a red rose.
It is a very significant image which arises from the awareness that love is a precious commodity and which is in short supply in our society today.
Through the sweetness of Bossa Nova, Roberto wishes to convey a positive message, like a wave of love and hope, dedicated to those who need it most, especially the victims of all wars and violence against women and children.
