2015 release ** Limited edition of 900 hand-numbered copies. "Real Essence is an album made with the acoustic Tricanta Veena, recorded in India, in the spiritually dense hours before dawn. The music of this great comeback by Paolo Tofani is not only for lovers of Indian music. As if Robbie Basho had lived in India, it is influenced by the East and the West. A new music, syncretic and deeply rich in inner peace, recorded with an impressive sound, like a hi-fi demonstration, without any tricks or electronic effects, by Paolo himself. A very pleasant album that has enchanted anyone who has had the fortune of listening to it. The liner notes are written by Greg Lake (King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer) who wanted to meet Tofani on the occasion of his tour in Italy and was deeply touched by this extraordinary album and give an idea of ​​the importance of this work."
