Hugo Danin - Sonologues

Hugo Danin presents Sonologues, an album in which the drums take centre stage, engaging in spontaneous dialogues with some of Portugal’s most gifted instrumentalists.

Recorded live, without scores or pre-set schemes, this work captures creative risk, immediacy and sonic freedom. Each track features a unique pairing—drums & vibraphone, drums & accordion, drums & guitar, among others—exploring texture, rhythm and melody in a genre-defying approach. The result is an intense journey through improvisation, where the instrument frees itself from constraints and finds its own voice. Sonologues stands as a landmark in Danin’s artistic journey, cementing his position among the leading figures of Portugal’s new non-jazz scene.
