Justin Adams & Mauro Durante performing “Dark Road Down“ a song taken from the album “Still Moving“. Live from the Real World Studios The project is supported by British Underground and funded by Arts Council England, and was filmed by Northern Cowboys at Real World Studios on 22nd Oct 2020. “Still Moving“ is an album by Justin Adams & Mauro Durante out via Ponderosa Music Records on October 29, 2021 that you can listen to at In a year when movement was restricted as never before, two musicians whose travels have been their lifeblood, managed to get together to make an intense and intimate record Still Moving. Justin Adams, whose post-punk approach has been enriched by a passion for Arabic and African trance/blues, and Mauro Durante, a visionary inheritor of the Taranta roots of his native Puglia recorded live in the studio, without overdubs. Together they found what was essential in their common sound, reaching into tradition from Italy (folk songs like Damme La Manu, classics like Amara Terra Mia) and America (Little Moses, the Carter Family classic). Original songs , like Dark Road Down find common ground between the wild pizzica rhythm of Southern Italy and trance boogie, while Djinn Pulse goes from serene instrumental minimalism to hypnotic catharsis. The title song Still Moving evokes Mediterranean migrations as Odyssean trial with ancient frame drum, and raw electric guitar providing a starkly beautiful landscape. The project is supported by Puglia Sounds #maurodurante #justinadams #darkroaddown
