Hours Presents: Gabriele Poso
Hours is a new event series celebrating live music, shining a light on global sounds. Our first edition invites Gabriele Poso, an Italian virtuoso percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and producer hailing from Sardinia, Italy. His live shows have long been respected by industry tastemakers, with his reputation for delivering percussion-driven, energy-filled performances around the globe. Gabriele is an artist with a strong musical and spiritual vision. He has amassed an impressive catalogue of releases since his album debut in 2008 on Osunlade’s Yoruba Records, releasing on labels like INFRACom!, Agogo, BBE and Soundway Records. His 2021 album ‘Tamburo Infinito’ on Wonderwheel includes the killer dancefloor cut, ‘La Bola’, while his upcoming release—‘Ritmo Italiano’ on Mr Bongo—is a curated selection of Italian gems. The release is led by the 1987 single ‘Lumumba’ from Italo-disco producer Tony Cercola, originally put out on Tendance.
