Quadro Nuevo - Happy Deluxe (2024) [Hi-Res]

Between jazz and world music, Quadro Nuevo was founded in 1996 at the initiative of two school friends, Mulo Francel and Didi Lowka. Since then, the small family has grown. For example, on this album, we find:

Mulo Francel | Tenor Sax, Clarinets, Mandolin, Whistle, Flute, Tenor Recorder
Andreas Hinterseher | Accordion, Vibrandoneon, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Trombone
D.D Lowka | Bass, Percussion, with guests Chris Gall | Piano, Harpejji, Pandeiro, Tim Collins | Vibraphone, Voice, Drums, Shaker, Paul Morello | Jazz Guitar, Spanish Guitar, Cavaquinho, Phillip Schiepek | Jazz Guitar, Spanish Guitar, Marco Lobo | Brazilian Percussion.

Quadro Nuevo explores the pathways of world music, blending arabesques, Balkan swing, and daring improvisations in an acoustic mode. However, this time, their new creation turns towards Brazil. With the philosophy, “Even in times of crisis and war, music can offer a positive alternative world,” the ensemble reflects. With refreshing reinterpretations of iconic hits such as Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” and Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” paired with newly crafted originals like “Here and Now,” Quadro Nuevo believes that “HAPPY Deluxe” encapsulates the enthusiasm of their journey and their tireless quest to create authentic and captivating music.
