Dialogo launches their brand new Piero Umiliani Legacy Series, with stunning reissues of “Africa” and “Continente Nero”, two of the celebrated Italian composer’s most important and creatively visionary works, remastered from the original analogue master tapes. In 1972 Piero Umiliani was above all the man of a thousand soundtracks and the first Italian jazz experiments; from his later career we’ll soon learn that wasn’t enough for him, showing just a tiny part of a more complex picture. Closed within the walls of his Sound Work Shop Studio, the Maestro was weaving much more complicated and satisfying plots, incorporating dozens of influences from a life spent experimenting and discovering new sounds.

Among the most fascinating ones, those who came from a continent like Africa, as much fabled as actually little known, but enchanting to the point that Umiliani dedicated to it the entire Africa – which is paired with its twin-record Continente Nero – and released it as M. Zalla, pseudonym used when it came to tidying up uncompromising and avant-garde music textures, as will later happen with masterpieces such as Suspense, Problemi d’Oggi or Mondo Inquieto.
