In addition to the now classic digital release, ‘Sacred Love’ sees the light of day in 7″ vinyl format (45 rpm) in two versions. An Afro-American track with a Tony Allen-esque super afrobeat rhythm opens side A (Logo Side) in a hypnotic jazz version performed by singer Giulia La Rosa, who also wrote the lyrics, vaguely reminiscent of Nina Simone’s “See-Line Woman”.
The B side (This Side) is a ‘Clapping Version’ without the drums which will certainly give free rein to DJs of the genre who want to mix different grooves.
“Sacred Love” is also Galathea’s new album due in January 2024. Massimo Napoli’s new project once again sees the collaboration of his friend producer and bass player Salvo Dub, as well as a combo of respectable musicians: singer Kadi Koulibaly – originally from Burkina Faso – already featured on the first album, pianist Mario Pappalardo, percussionist Sergio Spitaleri, drummer Luciano Cantone.
