Suggested by @ALFAMA, I have once again walked in the footsteps of "Kuba" Ziolek and his project Alameda.

Alameda Duo - The Luminous Guitar Craft of Alameda Duo (Instant Classic, August 31, 2017)
The latest chapter from Alameda (released under the name Alameda Duo), the project of Jakub "Kuba" Ziolek and his long-time collaborator, guitarist Mikolay Zielinski, is titled "The Luminous Guitar Craft of Alameda" (Instant Classic). Recorded in an evangelical church in Ziolek's hometown of Bydgoszcz, in northwestern Poland, the recording benefits from the exceptional acoustics of the venue, utilized at its best only during the nighttime hours to avoid external interference. The recording sessions took place exclusively at night, a characteristic that has clearly influenced the sound of the album, which is practically a kind of journey into the culture of Greek musical tradition that Kuba was introduced to by Rafael Iwanski (his collaborator on "Duch Tornada," 2015) through listening to an audio cassette of "Music of Ancient Greece" by Christodoulos Halaris (1946), a contemporary musician dedicated to the study and reconstruction of compositions from the classical era. Ziolek mentions Robbie Basho aka Daniel L. Robinson Jr and explains that the roots of his works are the same that have driven him on this adventure to recognize traces of American primitivism in the very sounds of ancient Greek music. Recorded exclusively in acoustic and with the Greek-Turkish bouzouki, the album consists of four tracks in which the two musicians demonstrate their great technical skills and build ecstatic harmonic compositions that resonate with light like crystals lost in time, where details such as the use of synthetic instruments and winds, in addition to the sung parts and the use of choirs, clearly make a difference and further enrich a work that reveals new aspects with each listen. I think I will listen to it for a long time to come. The fact is that in front of an artist like Ziolek, one must take off their hat for how talented he is.
