The last few years have been busy for João Pais Filipe. From the edition with the experimental duo Paisiel to the homonymous solo album, the collaborations with portuguese bands HHY & The Macumbas and Black Bombay, to the international meetings with Burnt Friedman, GNOD, African percussionist Omutaba and Peruvian master Manongo Mujica, there has been little time for the percussionist and gong builder to stop. Hence the challenge for what became a beautiful love story, came from his label: Lovers & Lollypops. The idea was for him to see a Tomaga concert, one of the projects of Valentina Magaletti, but the chemistry between the two was instant. From there they've forged TheGolden Path, the first album released under the moniker CZN. Nocturnal, visceral, erratic, immersive, the “golded route” through where they both guide us places music and its historical role at the center of human spirituality: uniting instinct with discipline, reality with the dream, the finite and the eternal.
