A Musical Journey Across the Mediterranean and South America
Italian multi-platinum guitarist, producer, and bassist Julyo returns with a stunning new instrumental album titled AMARanto, now available on all major streaming platforms. Drawing its name from the Spanish verb “amar” (to love) and the resilient amaranth flower—a symbol of immortality—AMARanto is a deeply emotive collection of original compositions inspired by the diverse cultural landscapes of the Mediterranean and South America.
Each of the album’s eight tracks serves as a musical love letter to a distinct region, weaving together sonic textures that evoke the spirit, rhythm, and beauty of these places. Listeners are invited to embark on a transportive journey—from the sun-drenched shores of Spain and the medieval charm of Italy to the vibrant coasts of Portugal, the mystique of North Africa, and the soul-stirring rhythms of Brazil.
“AMARanto is more than an album—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the timeless connections between cultures, people, and places I’ve encountered,” says Julyo. “Each track carries its own story, shaped by history, geography, and an enduring sense of love.”
AMARanto is released by American Latin record label EQS Música.
