La Farsa is a gaggle of multi-instrumentalist rabble-rousers who, since they were old enough to wield sticks or picks or press buttons or keys, have seen the world entire as a giant toybox, brimming with musical potential.

Since the beginning people have enjoyed sound, the sound that you can feel, the kinda sound that soothes your soul, eases you into serenity, opens you to a new world, pushes you through it, helps you on the other side, gives you a craving for more, this is music you can feel. This is Holy Water Buffalo.

With the new album, they’ve tapped into something powerful, haunting and strangely optimistic. Like a bleak vision of a not-so-distant future (or would that be the echo of an only-vaguely-remembered past?), Invisible Empire feels like a sci-fi film — a call to arms against a seemingly inescapable reality.

His music draws on the tradition of the masters but leans towards the future. Rooted in the tradition of the jazz language but just bluesy and gritty enough to not alienate larger audiences.
