Dopo lo straordinario successo riportato nel suo ultimo album Touch Wood, la Naim è lieta di presentare Tears of Joy, nono disco del celebre chitarrista-compositore Antonio Forcione. Registrato presso i Red Kite Studios del Galles nei primi mesi del 2005, questo disco rappresenta un vero evento internazionale, vedendo la partecipazione dell’Antonio Forcione Quartet (composto dalla violoncellista anglo-grenadina-nigeriana Jenny Adejayan, dal batterista brasiliano Adriano Adewale e dal fisarmonicista russo Igor Outkine) e di guest star come l’indiano Ronu Majumdar (bansuri), il neozelandese Nathan Thomson (contrabbasso), l’italiano Enzo Zirilli (batteria e percussioni) e la belga Micheline Van Hautem (voce). Straordinario mix di coinvolgenti motivi originali, la musica di Tears of Joy è stata interamente scritta, arrangiata e prodotta da Antonio Forcione ed evoca un’ampia varietà di emozioni, che vanno dalla pura contemplazione alle celebrazioni estatiche, facendo coesistere brillantezza tecnica con una rara intensità emotiva. Da non perdere.

English
Tears of Joy is my ninth album. Recorded over a residency with hailed engineer Martin Levan at Red Kite Studios in the seclusion of deepest Carmarthenshire, I was joined by a host of world class musicians, including the Antonio Forcione Quartet. For me, Tears of Joy truly marks the affirmation of my vision as a composer and arranger.
An mixture of original material, the music on Tears Of Joy has been written, arranged and produced by myself. I have tried to evoke a wide range of emotions from deep contemplation to ecstatic celebration with emotional depth.

Antonio Forcione (born 1960) is hailed as the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar. He has won numerous awards, released 16 albums of largely original material and tours internationally in festivals and for charity performances and masterclass workshops.
He was born in a village on the Adriatic shore of Molise in southern Italy.. He first drew public attention at 13 when he toured Italy with his own band as a guitarist, mandolinist and drummer. A few years later he obtained a diploma in art and sculpture from the Art Institute in Ancona where he also studied percussion. For a further two years he studied harmony and mime in Rome, before moving to London in 1983.

Unable to speak English, he initially resorted to busking in the streets of London’s Covent Garden. Within 2 months he had won an award which led to a BBC television appearance before being whisked off to open for Barclay James Harvest on a major European tour, culminating in a concert at Wembley Arena. He never looked back. Since then he has worked in collaboration with many artists, touring the world in duo, trio and quartet formats such as The Antonio Forcione Quartet and in his duo with Brazilian percussionist Adriano Adewale. His latest group is AKA, a trio with Seiku Keita and Adriano Adewale. A prolific composer, most of the pieces performed are his own. He has also performed, double-billed/supported and recorded with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Phil Collins, Jools Holland, Zucchero, Pino Daniele, Charlie Haden, John McLaughlin, Trilok Gurtu, Steps Ahead, Leo Kotke, Bireli Lagrene, Eduardo Niebla amongst others.
