Handmade - Emilio Solla & La Inestable de Brooklyn

Handmade is the new project by Emilio Solla with La Inestable de Brooklyn, conceived as a celebration of musical craft in its most human and artisanal form. An album that champions handmade creation, free from digital artificiality, and that recovers the gesture of the musician who blows, plucks, writes, and finds their own sound through work and experience.

The album combines lyricism, risk-taking, and finely crafted writing that transforms the nonet into a vibrant and flexible instrument. With influences ranging from tango and chamber music to the New York jazz tradition, Handmade offers an intimate yet powerful journey, marked by precise melodies, solid improvisations, and deep emotional coherence.

Recorded in Brooklyn and imbued with a spirit of closeness, the album reflects the convergence of porteño roots, jazz sophistication, and an artistic statement centered on the honesty of acoustic sound. In this sense, Handmade functions as a manifesto: music made by people, for people.
