July 23rd, 2021, saw the release of the first, eagerly-awaited chapter of Ludovico Einaudi: Mercan Dede Reimagined, published by DECCA. The album represents the latest piece in a human and artistic partnership spanning over a decade, between Mercan Dede and Ludovico Einaudi. Ludovico’s eternal, intimate and epic atmospheres find ample space for a new and compelling narrative within Mercan’s universe. As Mercan himself put it:

While waiting for their album “still moving” to be released by Ponderosa in October, you will be able to see them play live on Saturday, July 17th at the church of Sant’Ambrogio in Trezzano sul Naviglio, and on the 28th as part of the Colline Mediterranee festival in Salerno.
