Matteo Mancuso lets the good times roll and offers a masterclass in fingerstyle fusion guitar on new single Samba Party

Matteo Mancuso

Matteo Mancuso has shared the second single from his forthcoming debut album. The track is titled Samba Party. While it is not strictly a samba track, it is inspired by the carnival vibe and is written in a major key, and is yet another reason to believe the hype about the Sicilian virtuoso who is blowing everyone’s mind right now. 

Samba Party is also Mancuso’s favourite from the album, and it is a jaw-dropping work of fusion guitar. “This is a strange one because, first of all, musically speaking, it doesn't have anything to do with the samba style,” he says. “But I wanted to write a happy ‘major chord’ song and the thing I usually connect with giant happy parties with a lot of people is the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, so, that’s why Samba Party.”
