Czn

CZN is a percussion group of drummer Valentina Magaletti and percussionist and sculptor João Pais Filipe, working with producer Leon Marks. The name stands for copper, zinc and nickel, the metals Pais Filipe uses to make his gongs and bells. The music is long-form and polyrhythmic, played on drums and metal percussion. CZN began with a one-off recording session in Porto in spring 2018, which became the debut LP The Golden Path, issued that year by Porto's Lovers & Lollypops with Negative Days, the label of Magaletti's duo Tomaga.
