Mondorama by Marcello Giombini

An unreleased gem from Italian maestro Marcello Giombini, Mondorama dives into the exotic and provocative atmospheres of early 60s “mondo” films. Blending exotica, swing, and a hint of rock & roll, the album captures the adventurous and transgressive spirit of the mondo genre. The tracks, all performed by Giombini and his orchestra, were specifically conceived as scores for the scandalous, sensational, and controversial scenarios typical of mondo films, depicting bizarre, extreme, and taboo scenes observed across the globe.
Mondorama kicks off with a distinctly jazz-infused opening, beginning with the lively “Rumba degli Amanti”, an early 60s rumba where the allure of exotica meets the energy of big-band swing, before launching into the rockin' boogie-woogie of “Happy Birthday” and “Tiber Rock.” The journey continues across diverse musical cultures: from the Latin rhythms of “Capri Cha Cha Cha” to the ancestral sounds of “Danza Azteca,” and from the Japan-inspired melodies of “Geisha 60” to the Middle-Eastern vibes of “Ghibli”.
