In today's musical landscape, where careers are often quickly built, the story of this quartet is a testament to perseverance and passion. Separated by miles and occupied by their respective commitments, the four members of Bosco Sacro faced a major challenge for a long time: finding the right time to get together on stage. This obstacle could have discouraged the less determined, but for them it only strengthened the desire to see their joint project blossom.
Italian label Go Down Records brings us another gem with the release of Bosco Sacro's Live at Chiesa Armena mini-album. This captivating recording plunges us into a bewitching and deeply hypnotic experience.
Led by the ecstatic voice of Giulia Parin Zecchini, the quartet's ethereal music takes on its full dimension in the sacred setting of the Armenian chapel Chiesa Armena before a conquered audience, capturing the essence of a rare intimate moment whose union must be underlined.
Beyond the live aspect, this is above all a true sonic ritual. The auditory journey is entrusted to the emblematic track The Future Past, which perfectly illustrates Bosco Sacro's ability to fuse elements of doom, ambient and folk to create their unique atmosphere. Every note, every echo seems to inhabit space, transporting the listener into a state of trance. Beyond the desire to immortalize a performance, this album is a temporal bridge that embodies the will to overcome distance to perpetuate their art.
Feedback from audiences and critics alike is unmistakable: their performances are unanimously described as passionate, cathartic, explosive, transcending established genres. And on this particular evening, in this chapel steeped in their history, the group's cohesion was palpable. Every note, every breath testified to a perfect osmosis, transforming the concert into a veritable sound ceremony (Ice Was Pure). Silence itself, once savored here, became an integral part of the work, magnifying the musical moments.
Founded in 2020 by major figures on the Italian underground scene, including Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Bosco Sacro is much more than just a band. It's a vision, a collective devotion to music as a healing and liberating force. This deep conviction, nourished by the sublime immensity of nature and landscapes, permeates every one of their compositions.
Their unmistakable sound is woven from dreamy atmospheres, slowed-down rhythms and an enveloping depth of sound. This unique sound is reflected in their debut album, Gem, recorded under the expert guidance of Lorenzo Stecconi, a producer who has collaborated with Amenra among others. Finding the right opportunities to get together is a challenge. This live album is a key element in that process. It marks an important moment on the transitional path that links their first album with Live at Chiesa Armena, born of a brief residency organized by Go Down Records, in an emblematic venue in north-east Italy.
Live at Chiesa Armena is a powerful testament to the synergy between Bosco Sacro and the environment in which their music comes to life. It's a disc for lovers of deep, spiritual sounds. An essential, life-saving record in these troubled times. More recently, Bosco Sacro recorded a live recording for RADIO CAPODISTRIA.
