**David Virelles** redefine jazz fusion with Afro-Cuban traditions in *Antenna*, a 2016 ECM release now reissued on vinyl. Featuring **Román Díaz** on batá drums and **Gonzalo Rubalcaba** on piano, the album blends percussive textures with spectral harmonies. Tracks like *Siku Ila Makori* juxtapose ritualistic chants with jagged piano clusters, while *Marejada* evokes tidal surges through layered ostinatos.
