When reviewing an album, for me second parts are usually more difficult to write about than the first ones. The shadow of the predecessor is always present, and if the first one was an awesome album, the second can be a tough mountain to climb.

This happened to me with the second superb recording of Kamancello’s “Kamancello II – Voyage”. While it is no less special than its predecessor, it was more difficult for me to get to the keyboard and drop some lines while listening to it. It has taken me its good time to process all the sounds and melodies, and most of all: all the emotions this album transmits. Not an easy task when swimming in turbulent waters.

This time the roughly one-hour album is comprised of 4 compositions. I cannot call them songs, because once again, Raphael Weinroth-Browne and Shahriyar Jamshidi have created a work of art live in the recording studio, pure improvisation by 2 minds that are literally one when they face each other with their instruments ready to speak for them.
