Batov Records continues to produce funky disco goodness from Israel. From their Bandcamp site:
“Romano, synthesizer wizard unveils his debut solo album, ‘Güle Güle’, for Batov Records. A cinematic journey through groove, nostalgia, and diverse cultural soundscapes, the album showcases Romano’s rich musical heritage and cutting-edge creativity, building a unique sound worldwide from influences as vast as funk, disco, reggae, to Latin America, the Balkans and particularly the Middle East.
Lior Romano grew up in a Turkish-Egyptian heritage household, surrounded by music. Turkish and Egyptian, naturally, but also Greek, and the unique fusion of Greek and Arabic sounds common to the culturally diverse neighbourhood he grew up in. At the same time he gravitated towards global legends such as Stevie Wonder, Jackie Mittoo, Omar Souleyman and Aris San, in love with sounds, increasingly the sounds of synthesizers.”
