Teaser: youtu.be/Di2EA5uEuv4

Proverbe, the sophomore album of DUMItRIO, creates an entrancing ambi- ance with Romanian flavours, supported by narrative-intuitive compositions and spontaneous improvisations. Band leader and composer George Dumitriu, steered the trio into new musical directions by cultivating elements of oral and musical Romanian folklore into their repertoire. Inspired by a journey to the origins, the new album offers insights into traditional Roma- nian wisdom crafted around four Romanian proverbs spoken by Mama-mare (the composer’s grandmother). The recording of her voice played back in loops inspired DUMItRIO’s improvisations with natural irregular metrics and dynamics.
The addition of violin, viola and cello fashions a unique and creative dimension to the sound of the already established guitar trio.


“a captivating atmosphere, informed by Romanian folk music and buttressed by the readings of native proverbs and unstructured improvisa- tions. The versatility of the musicians adds to the subtle variety of moods, making each piece a fresh start.” -
Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz
