Matteo Mancuso clearly has drawn some inspiration from the great Allan Holdsworth, but he’s developed his own thing and this new video is not just a shred fest, it has melodically inventive writing and excellent playing by all. And it’s just a fun tune, which is nice.

Official Music Video for Samba Party.
Pre-Order/Stream here: lnk.to

It’s finally here! this is the official video of my tune “Samba Party”, I know, It’s a strange title because first of all, musically speaking it doesn’t have anything to do with the samba style, but I wanted to write a happy “major chord” song and the thing I usually connect with giant happy parties with a lot of people is the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, that’s why “Samba Party”. The main theme of the song is inspired by samba rhythms but I wanted a more modern groove, that was when the masters @gianlucapellerito94 on drums and @riccardo_oliva on bass delivered this outstanding performance, and I was super happy of the result! I have to say it’s probably my favorite song from the album!
The location is called “Farm Cultural Park” located in Favara (AG) Sicily. We had tons of fun recording this, and I wanted to thank Florinda Saieva for letting us shoot the video on these beautiful locations! I also wanted to thank, as always @YamahaGuitarsOfficial for their constant support and of course thanks to YOU fans all over the world for the comments, likes and your positive response on my original material, that means the world to me! Thank you again.
