Album Notes & Community Reviews
Conceived after a trip to South America, Lucio Battisti's 'Anima latina' represents a significant departure from his prior work, fusing Italian songwriting with Brazilian musical influences, progressive rock, and funk. The album features long, complex compositions with intricate, Latin-influenced rhythms, prominent synthesizers, and advanced editing techniques, often treating Battisti's vocals as an integrated instrumental layer within the dense, atmospheric soundscapes he co-produced with Mogol.
