This album lives up to the promise of its title: it is hot, appealing and enlivening. “Mocca Swing” is a retrospective of the musical creativity of Mulo Francel. It documents his role as a passionate builder of bridges between young and old, one’s home country and abroad, and between jazz and other music genres.

Each of the tracks of “Dancing” communicates simultaneously and directly with the brain, the emotions and the dancing feet. There is quite simply a very wide range of delights for the listener to enjoy – and to get up and dance to.
