GIOMANÈ “New Album by GIANFRANCO GFN”
The Story of an Enchanting and Organic Album
The adventure of GIOMANÈ began in autumn 2022 with the recording of the very first track, Sing The Song, released as a single in December of the same year. It was just the beginning of an intense and inspiring musical journey that would span two years. Over time, twelve more tracks came to life, each crafted with passion, culminating in this unique album—a true reflection of GIANFRANCO GFN’s universe.
The style remains true to the essence of GIAZZ!, a vibrant fusion of groove, soul, blues, pop, and funk, infused with a warm and mystical energy. Each track, enriched by finely honed arrangements and an organic approach, pulsates with the rhythm of the musicians who have brought their unique touch to the album.
An album where vibrations, musical colors, Mediterranean origins, and feeling intertwine to offer an immersive and groovy experience. A journey that is enchanting, full of dreams and good vibes, inviting listeners to escape and move, to forget everyday worries and let go, if only for a moment.
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship, A Human Adventure
All compositions are written by Gianfranco GFN, while the lyrics were penned by Alan Jackson, Patrizia Viccaro, Vladimir Carbone, David Caraccio, and Gianfranco GFN. The album aims to be sincere and universal, touching on themes of love, life moments, and adventures, with no political or religious undertones—a deliberate choice by the artist to offer a timeless musical journey.
With 13 tracks, including 12 vocal pieces and 1 instrumental, GIOMANÈ invites listeners into a sensory immersion, where each song unveils a unique world, blending intoxicating rhythms and captivating melodies.
An album born from dreams and inspiration, starting intimately with a guitar and an improvised melody, then enriched in the studio by passionate musicians. A journey where every step, from recording to production, required hundreds of hours of work, filled with challenges, twists, and magical alchemy between arrangements and production.
An International Production
No fewer than 15 musicians contributed to this musical odyssey, both in the studio and remotely:
• Gianfranco GFN (guitar), David Caraccio (bass), Vladimir Carbone (vocals), Nicolas Pittet (drums), Claude-Alain Biedermann (keyboards), Christian Chopard (keyboards), Lucien Matthey (percussion), Evgenia Vieira, Giorgia Rissone, and Alma Cirluzo (backing vocals).
• The horn section was recorded in Abidjan, under the direction of saxophonist and arranger JB-Moundele, accompanied by Ediamen N'Cho (trumpet), Fred Stalder (trumpet), Grah Rollins (trombone), and Jean-Paul Assale (trombone).
• Recordings took place at Le Bocal studio in Boudry (Switzerland), under the supervision of sound engineer David Caraccio, while mixing and mastering were handled by Nico Oderico at Angels Wings studio in Italy.
The Meaning of GIOMANÈ
A mysterious title for an equally mysterious album. GIOMANÈ has no specific meaning. It was spontaneously born during the composition of the first track, Sing The Song, as a musical incantation. This word became the guiding thread of a project driven by inspiration, emotion, and raw energy.
A Grand Premiere
On November 28, 2024, GIOMANÈ was presented for the first time during a concert in Biel/Bienne, the artist's hometown. A true celebration of this fifth solo album, marking the beginning of a new adventure with GFN & THE MYSTERY BAND.
A tour will follow, allowing audiences to discover this opus in all its facets.
