Recorded during the 2024 Tour Of Waterfalls in Budapest, this project utilized super-warm sounding, 24-track analogue technology. Thanks to the excellent recording combined with the world-renowned sound engineering work of Tamás Barabás, an audiophile-quality master was created once again. This project contains the complete live-concert material, mostly Djabe compositions, given a new impetus and sound by Chieli Minucci. The rest of the album features Chieli Minucci’s compositions, mostly Special EFX tracks. The title track, Waterfall, is from both artist’s repertoire, which work equally well in this revamped, collaborative arrangement. A standout from the consistently strong programme is Chieli’s Without You, which was performed live for the first time on this tour. The mostly highly emotional compositions created a special atmosphere at each stop on the tour. Djabe’s musical quality and unique sound also gave these recordings a new air. Minucci praised the band, the concerts and the recording The Tour Of Waterfalls is not only the first album of Chieli’s collaboration with Djabe, but also the debut of new Djabe saxophone player Zoltán Zana. Zoli excels in both Minucci compositions and older Djabe compositions. – Attila Egerhazi
