  • Gigi Masin has a new album on the way. Arriving November 11th, Vahinè is a tribute to the Venetian artist's late wife, who died last year. The record spans six tracks of emotive, jazz-leaning ambient and experimental. It will launch Alessia Avallone's new label, Language of Sound. "I was watching this documentary [about women dancers in Tahiti], it was almost four in the morning, but I couldn't sleep," said Masin. "I was in front of the television for hours, my wife had passed away the day before, and I was watching hands and arms swaying." He added: "I told myself that maybe at the end of the road it's possible to realise dreams, and I'm sure that she's finally able to dance like never before, and is able to move without any impediment, with no suffering, free to make all the movements that she couldn't make for so long, turning to me with a smile and a wink." Masin's last album, "Calypso," was inspired by Greek mythology and Greece's idyllic isles. It came out through Apollo in February 2020. Listen to "Vahinè."
