Compro Oro Belgium
A twang-American, psychedelic underground road trip to Africa, the Middle East and the
Americas.
Compro Oro's wayward & psychedelic approach to a broad range of sounds - from ethiojazz to
Afro-Cuban, even Western - gained them a devote fanbase in recent years.
The spirit of fine folks like Cal Tjader, Mulatu Astatke or Marc Ribot is never far away.

Adventurous hybrid jazz at its best. I struggle to describe why this stands out above a crowd, but... It all sounds so precise. Every instrument fills its own space so that, as busy as it gets, it never feels crowded. It breathes easy while full of energy. In case I'm not making sense, this, in short, is brilliant. Added bonus that the vocal track doesn't stand out negatively as those too often do on otherwise instrumental albums. Heavy rotation, and the best jazz-related album of 2022.

This album takes you somewhere else right from the first bars. I hear strong Israeli influences in almost all tracks. The way they're seamlessly combined with Indian and Arabic instrumentation reminds of the great band Sheva, especially their album Celestial Wedding. But it's more jazzy. Also Armenian Navy Band came to my mind somewhere. Really beautiful sound, too. Vinyl highly recommended.
