The debut album of guitarist Antonio Ragosta is a voyage where the author summarizes through a personal language, a massive musical literature, the result of academic studies and a wide range of performance experiences.
This album contains nine original songs composed and arranged by Antonio Ragosta. The wide range of influences characterise his compositions; they seem to confirm that the music was born by a commonsense drawn from styles and natures.
The album´s title alludes to an ideal universe from which he draws on for his creations. The sea represents places of his childhood, on the other hand his enchantment is a discovery of the possibility to artistically express himself in a dimension where all his past ways seem to focus in the places where the album has taken its final artistic form, or the crowded and multi-ethnic streets in the Eastern zone of the Italian capital.
