At the head of a dazzling trio, surrounded by guests, guitarist Yotam Silberstein presents an album that sums up his musical loves and draws its colors from different regions of the planet. Frevo from Pernambuco, samba from Rio de Janeiro, camdombé from Uruguay or chamamé from Argentina, punctuated by stops in Andalusia and in the Middle East, "Universos" is the radiant record of a world jazzman who has won respect everywhere where he put his guitar.
