"Be still my heart. From the first track of Poeta by artist Al Conti, I was transported, swept away and totally enchanted. Multi-faceted musician, Conti includes piano, guitar, sitar, strings and a touch of haunting vocal to his latest work.
A man with a muse, Al conveys through his music a sense of love, longing, passion, and peace that speaks to the heart and soul. In track one, “Quest for Orpheus,” you join Orpheus on a quest to retrieve his lost love. Lose yourself in track 7, “Abstract Desire,” and find adventure with track 2, “Dreams of Illiad.”
If you are a hopeless romantic, listening to Poeta will render you hopeful, and if you have forgotten dreams tucked away in your heart, Al Conti will find them and bring them back out into the light.
Originally from Argentina and the son of a poet and a ballerina, romance and poetry are as natural as breathing to this artist who was surrounded by music, literature and art his whole life.
This music is a great accompaniment to healing, meditation, massage, or just pure romance. I look forward to hearing more from this gentle, yet powerful, artist."
