Don Karate is the project of Italian multi-instrumentalist Stefano Tamborrino, a detour from the world of jazz he normally inhabits towards its equally fruitful descendants.
Don Karate’s music is a complex and fascinating sonic universe, with grooves orbiting around hip-hop traditions and melodies reflecting electronic and cinematographic nebulae. Rest assured that Don Karate is more than capable to guide you through this universe, with Tamborrino (drums, vocals) deftly assisted by Pasquale Mirra (vibes) and Francesco Ponticelli (bass). Independently each member is accomplished and acclaimed within the Italian music scene, and together they represent more than three decades of experience in various formations having performed both at home and abroad.
In Don Karate’s third album, “Space Foresta”, the music pays close attention to timbral sesibilities and their potential, creating space between the notes for the listeners to lose themselves in.
