"BIOGRAFIA IN ITALIANO " "Manuela Panizzo italiana, cantautrice, vive e lavora a Londra dal `97." "Dopo un breve contratto discografico con l`etichetta Gut Records e uno di edizioni con la Sony, e dopo diverse esperienze e collaborazioni sia come vocalist che come autrice di canzoni con artisti internazionali quali Cece Rogers, Lee Ryan, John Legend, Kym Mazelle, Angie Brown, Vanessa Haynes,, Romina Johnson, Boy George & Culture Club, Andrew Roachford, Kele Le Roc, Omar, Don E, Benet Mclean, il London Community Gospel Choir ha finalmente completato il suo primo album come cantautrice di genere Neo Soul, uscito in ottobre 2012 dal titolo "Don`t fall in love with me" su etichetta Platinum Fingers."
-
"L`album:" "L`album contiene in totale 9 canzoni, 7 autobiografiche composte interamente da Manuela e 2 scritte dal co-produttore del progetto Xantone Blacq, tastierista di Amy Winehouse." "L`album e` di genere Neo Soul, ha sonorita` acustiche ed e`quasi interamente suonato senza l`utilizzo di campioni e computers. Manuela ha utilizzato alcuni tra i musicisti piu`esperti e contesi nel Regno Unito:" "Troy Miller alla batteria, pluri-strumentista che ha un grosso curriculum con collaborazioni con artisti mondiali quali Amy Winehouse, Mica Paris, Cliff Richard per nominarne alcuni." "Special guest sul pezzo intitolato "Nuts" e` il batterista Jose Joyette anch`egli affermatosi fin da bambino come un prodigio e poi come turnista mondiale con Craig David, Sister Sledge, Caron Wheeler, Odissey e De la Soul per nominarne alcuni." "Ci sono 3 bassisti nell`album: Pete Cochraine bassista nell`album "Frank" di Amy Winehouse, Dean Mark bassista di Roy Ayers, Craig David, Lemar Frank Mccomb e molti altri ed infine Otto Williams bassista di New York che vive e lavora a Londra e che ha suonato per Chaka Khan e Tom Browne." "Due chitarristi italiani, immancabili e da lungo tempo collaboratori musicali di Manuela:" "Il leggendario Gianluca Mosole che ha all`attivo parecchi album come chitarrista fusion e il richiestissimo Luca Campaner chitarrista di numerosi artisti Sony quali Blue, Westlife, Donna Summer, Lee Ryan e Natasha Bedingfield. " "La formazione dal vivo: " "Per le serate dal vivo Manuela preferisce dare un`impronta decisamente latin con sezioni di ritmo afro cubano, percio` si e` affidata alll`immancabile direttore musicale Xantone Blacq che e` anche tastierista e cantante . Xan Blacq canta ed esegue al piano alcuni brani originali tratti dai suoi 2 album come solista che ha gia` divulgato con concerti al Ronnie Scott`s Jazz Club e al Jazz Cafe di Londra. " "Alla sezione ritmica ci sono 2 eccelsi musicisti cubani:" "Michel Castellanos giovanissimo super-talento della batteria e Raudelis Quiala alle congas, vivono a Londra e vantano collaborazioni con i nomi piu grossi della musica latina quali membri del gruppo Buenavista Social Club e Azucar Negra, Jesus Cutino e Son de Cuba." "L`ultimo acquisto della band e` Davi Lannes, bassista brasiliano arrivato a Londra da pochissimo e si e` gia` fatto un nome di bassista eccellente."
