Description
Entitled Silencio, the new album is due in September and will arrive as a natural continuation of the first, featuring songs
that had been left out as well as those that were part of Nigro's shows with the band "The songs have come to life. Today I feel more confident about doing my own thing, more assured. I want to propose this listening to silence, to the hidden subtleties that are revealed in existence", he concludes.
Recording the first album was a personal adventure with an uncertain destination. Apocalip Se embodies this feeling of
conducting an internal investigation, a rediscovery from the inside out. On the new album, the image on the cover is about
being open, with your hands absorbing the outside, feeling the power of nature reflected in its greatness," Nigro reflects.
"I always woke up at 4 a.m. to the sound of a variety of birdsongs, and I kept thinking 'what are these birds saying? Do
they even think about us?'". The artist then composed the instrumental part with his guitar and sent it to the poet Eveline Sin
suggesting this theme, and she responded years later, at the time of the recording of Apocalip Se. The song was formed in
several movements, also bringing together pianist and partner Dustan Gallas, with a new arrangement featuring more than
20 musicians, taking the new version to another level of interpretation. As for the construction of the melodies, Nigro reflects:
"I think the voice is an instrument, a fascinating harmonic instrument". In addition to producing for numerous well-known artists,
such as Russo Passapusso, Francisco el Hombre, Curumin, and Anelis Assumpcao, onalbums that have marked the history
of independent Brazilian music, Ze Nigro has used his role as a singer as a long experiment in self-knowledge.
