JAZZ SOUL RnB
I have always loved music, from a very young age. I love the emotions it arouses, the atmosphere it creates, I love to draw stories and characters with my voice.
From a very young age as a self-taught musician and later through qualified training I wanted to measure and refine my artistic talent. My love for soul and jazz have forced me to constantly and tirelessly demand of myself the stylistic and interpretive refinement that these musical genres impose. I was in no hurry to tread the stage, preferring an artistic growth of depth and quality, moving among Jazz, soul and R&B artists, from whom I learned a lot, between Italy, London, Japan and Malta.
Today I feel ready to make myself known to a wider audience. I do this by accompanying myself with nationally and internationally renowned artists such as Massimo Faraò, Byron Landham, Oscar Marchioni, Renato D'Aiello, Nicola Barbon, Claudia Zannoni, Alessandro Buzzi, Cesare Mecca, Sophia Tomelleri, Massimo Orselli, Davide Palladin, Marko Cepak, James Thompson, Stefano Franco, Flavio Davanzo, and in the past years I have been pleased to share numerous artistic experiences in Jazz and R&B projects and concerts with musicians such as Mark Abrams, U. T. Ghandi, Giorgio Pacorig, Ermes Ghiraldini, Luca Demicheli, Mario Cogno, Nevio Zaninotto, Iuri Dal Dan, Riccardo Morpurgo, Alessandra Franco, Luca Colussi, Andrea Massaria, Marzio Valentini, Francesco Vattovaz, Giuliano Tull, Mark Abrams, Massimo Rigaccini and others.
I thank Andrea Allione and Sergio Candotti, who in the early days passed on to me the passion for singing that remains my main artistic expression today.
Jazz is a soul discipline.
Shiny Vibes of Malta is my first album and represents the culmination of an artistic journey born out of a passion for jazz and singing.
An almost chance encounter with Massimo Faraò during the bright Maltese nights gave Rasmani the opportunity to put to good use the experience he had gained by frequenting international jazz circles.
Recorded at Lito's Place Recording Studio, Shiny Vibes of Malta is a collection of standards in which Rasmani expresses himself with soul jazz interpretations in the company of Massimo Faraò, Nicola Barbon, Byron Landham, Claudia Zannoni, Renato D'Aiello, Flavio Davanzo, Alessandro Buzzi and Rodney Bradley.
In this encounter with Massimo Faraò, I wanted to draw on his style and experience to find my own balanced dimension as a performer. But I also took the opportunity to move away from the canonical atmospheres of the jazz trio and lay the foundations for a personal quest that could make my interpretations more exciting for the audience.
