MAURO SIGURA - ALL THE PROJECTS
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MY MUSIC
" When I first sat down with Mauro Sigura, I was struck by his quiet intensity....Mauro is not just a performer; he is a bridge between cultures, a seeker of new sounds, and a relentless innovator..." ANDREW READ - JAZZ IN EUROPE
" ... It is wonderful to hear these lovely Mediterranean-styled melodies woven so deeply into a jazz fabric... ...the world is increasingly thirsty for interesting music of such integrity.

PRESS
"...Sigura’s music is characterized by its ability to blend diverse musical traditions with contemporary sounds. His background in philosophy, combined with his musical expertise, brings a unique depth to his compositions. The DUNIA project, in particular, showcases Sigura’s innovative approach. By adapting the oud to an electric context, he creates a soundscape that is both familiar and groundbreaking. The music seeks to bridge the gap between the particular and the universal, offering clear melodies set against complex, layered backgrounds..." Steven James - JAZZ IN EUROPE
"...It is wonderful to hear these lovely Mediterranean-styled melodies woven so deeply into a jazz fabric, and done so convincingly. This is such a rich area to explore and the world is increasingly thirsty for interesting music of such integrity. What a marvellous group of musicians too..."

DUNIA
DUNIA represents a bold fusion of sounds and styles. The project’s name, meaning “Woman” or “Mother” in some archaic cultures, reflects its exploration of universal themes through music. Sigura’s oud adapts to an electric context, creating a unique soundscape that blends jazz, fusion, Middle Eastern music, rock, and psychedelic elements. The album seeks to bridge the gap between the particular and the universal, offering clear, incisive melodies set against a rich, layered sonic backdrop. This approach results in a sound that is both accessible and profoundly complex, inviting listeners to discover new depths with each listening.

THE PROJECT
Quand la musique concrète rencontre l’oriente. Un jazz savant à l’architecture orientale et classique. Le Quotidien (Tunis) Avec Migrantes, l'improvisation jazz donnait l'impression d'une écriture musicale sensible aux mouvements qui structurent la musique de chambre. Mais ici, il s'agissait non plus de musique de chambre mais bel et bien d'un tissage fondateur entre traditions que tout pourrait opposer mais qui ici sont rassemblées sous la même bannière.

MAURO SIGURA: OUD
Migrantes is a musical project born from the encounter between oud player Mauro Sigura and pianist Andrea Manzoni. The sonic pluralism of the two musicians vividly and dynamically represents the cultural diversity and musical influences that shape their work, embracing a wide range of genres and traditions. Their style blends elements from diverse musical contexts, creating a unique and captivating soundscape. The performance is a journey that fuses emotions, pulsating rhythms, and instrumental exchanges typical of European jazz and experimentation, transporting the listener through evocative sounds reminiscent of Arab-Ottoman music. Andrea Manzoni and Mauro Sigura aim to create a stimulating and immersive musical experience that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. With an interdisciplinary approach to composition and performance, they consider music a universal language of human experience.
THE PROJECT
The combination between sounds, melodies, rhythms of traditional Ottoman-Mediterranean music and atmospheres of European contemporary jazz, come together in this project, creating a unique and fashinating sound able to evoke, in the listener, a journey beyond the temporal dimension from the colors of Senegal to the wide silent spaces of the north, mixing sounds, elements and people of different cultures in one breath.
