​Alma Del Sur is inspired by the rhythms and sounds of Miami, Andalucía, Cuba and Latin America, with lyrics and melodies paying tribute to his Ukrainian roots.”
Nylon-string funk, bossa, flamenco, Cuban jazz, song lyrics in three languages, captivating guitar and trumpet conversations, virtuosic bass and cajón solos, refined cello lines - all with a bit of a Miami suntan - this is what you can expect to hear on this record.
Jose Conde produced "Alma Del Sur" at the City of Progress studio and his SoBe Sound studio. The sessions were described as "intriguing and tasteful fusion."
The distinguished team of musicians included Ukrainian-born and Miami-based composer, guitarist and vocalist Aleks Di Roma, two-time Grammy Award winning bassist Jose Armando Gola, four-time Latin Grammy nominated percussionist Adolfo Herrera, Adjunct Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Florida International University trumpeter Francisco Dimas, University of Miami doctor of musical arts candidate cellist Shea Kole, as well as the featured vocals, additional percussion and rhythm guitar work of Jose Conde on the track "El Ucraniano." Producer, arranger and an award-winning singer-songwriter, Conde won Best Latin Album IMA in 2008 with his group "Ola Fresca."
The album was mostly recorded over four-day sessions at the City of Progress studio, founded by Andrew Yeomanson, aka DJ Le Spam and leader of the notorious Miami-based band Spam Allstars.
“Aleks has a very solid flamenco foundation, and in this record he is also adding elements of jazz, pop, rock and funk,” says Conde.
“Alma Del Sur” is the second album by Aleks Di Roma, featuring his virtuosic flamenco-infused percussive guitar style. It is also the first full album release since his critically acclaimed debut “Horizon Of Harmony” in 2010.
Other notable releases include the instrumental rendition of a renowned Ukrainian folk song “Moonlit Night” (Нiч Яка Мiсячна) and “Jukebox Groove,” a musical tribute to influential Jewish composers, released in 2014.
“Alma Del Sur” features instrumental works composed by Aleks Di Roma and songs set to his own lyrics in Russian, as well as Spanish lyrics by Jose Conde on “El Ucraniano,” Russian lyrics of Chicago-based poet Gari Lait on the song titled “Dream” (Сон), and Ukrainian lyrics of renowned poet Maksym Tadeyivych Rylsky (1895-1964), the author of “Summer Stops At The Door” (Спинилось Лiто На Порозi).
