Büo’s “Respiro di Pietra” lands on Ritu Records as a 13‑track journey through dark nature and inner folds. Folktronica, ambient textures, and Mediterranean currents flow through the record, making space for emotional drift. The album emerged from a strongly collaborative weave: Mondocane, FiloQ, Chalanga, Mavàra, Elia Lasorsa, Tommy Cyaen, Lucía González Gaitán, Esse, Jey, Jo Choneca, Neb, and Vella, to name a few, all had a hand in shaping its world. Deeply introspective but never cold, the work carries a shared creative pulse. A record to get lost in, not to conquer.

Premiered here, “Mi Alma,” built with Jo Choneca and Neb, swings a different kind of weight. The percussion takes the lead – a thick, forest‑aura rhythm that feels like earth under bare feet. A Latin gait carries the piece, hips moving before the brain catches up. Layers of drums stack into a warm, groove‑driven momentum. The collaborators lock into a shared pocket, letting the beat unfold without clutter. A track that anchors the album’s darker drift with something grounded, physical, and alive. Proper folk‑meets‑floor energy, served without pretense.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label.
