Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – Sangha, Mace's new album, will be available on all digital platforms and on CD and vinyl (including signed vinyl) starting Friday, November 27th from Atlantic Records Italy / Warner Music Italy. A limited-edition signed vinyl version of SANGHA will also be available, giving access to a preview album listening session taking place in Milan on November 25th.
The term Sangha in Sanskrit means 'community' and is the concept around which Mace's new album develops.
For the artist, Sangha represents the community of people we surround ourselves with, a network of mutual support, without a clear boundary: it's more like a magnetic field, born from a natural inclination to reach out to others to create something greater and more meaningful. It's the exact opposite of doing everything alone.
Above all, it's a circle with no one at the center, which is perhaps the most difficult idea for anyone to put into practice. After Maya, Mace took the working method adopted for his previous album to the extreme: musicians, poets, singers, rappers, visual artists, and friends—over 60 people—took turns in an intense residency in Tuscany.
For three weeks, writing blended with life in sessions without schedules or predefined patterns. Working like this teaches you what you can't learn alone: trusting others' intuition, listening, sharing a space, and asking for help.
I surrounded myself with magical yet very diverse people, carefully selected for their talent and energy. I wanted to recreate a small, self-regulating chaos, to create connections that could endure over time and generate new thoughts. If Maya suggested the great human illusion of being separate entities, Sangha is a more concrete invitation to resonance and unity between people, a cry for the survival of the collective spirit.
