Timeless summer grooves inspired by the historical rhythms of the seventies – and the unmistakable, organic glow of the marimba – Giorgia Baglivo guides with power and possibility, for the perfectly titled Good Vibes.
Pro-percussionist Giorgia Baglivo approaches modern music from a massively unique standpoint. Noting specialist abilities in marimba and vibraphone, Baglivo’s versatility and passion as a musician light up the space with faultless rhythm and intoxicating melodies.
The soundscape of Good Vibes celebrates this distinct angle in a way that’s impossible to ignore. Blending an infectious tropical groove with colourful keys and the smooth leading voice of Argentinian singer Ivo Borda, the track ignites a sense of everlasting summertime – a spiritual and awakening boost of energy and optimism, which naturally lingers once the music has ended.
Baglivo is the composer, with help later on from a producer finding the right beats to elevate her arrangements in a manner that feels both classic and contemporary. Good Vibes effectively bridges the gap between eras, and at the same time, connects with music fans past and present for its sheer conceptual relevance and warmth in relation to its name.
On the surface, a timeless floor-filler with a salsa-esque level of movement and unity. Underneath this, an enchanting display of pristine musical mastery; and a sublime testament to the power of both creative freedom and collaboration.
Also worth checking out is the single Summer Days, from Giorgia Baglivo and Mr. Goodbarz – a completely different take, a twist of Hip Hop and a trap rhythm; all showcasing the bold diversity and limitless expression of the vibraphone. The track promises a notably ambient, immersive listen – mildly haunting but all round captivating – letting the mind wander and the body calm, as Mr. Goodbarz offers the flow and hopeful imagery to really lift the mood.
