CAMERA SOUL · A STORY OF SUCCESS


With the forthcoming release of the new album "Esagerato" by Camera Soul, surely it is a
good time to remember the history of this great band and their so far
 last album "Existence".

Camera Soul is an original jazz/soul/funk project created by Lombardo Bros Productions. The band had released 5 albums that received an amazing international response.

After the debut with the first album "Words Don´t speak", the second album "Not for ordinary people" is a small miracle and realizes 3 months of stay in the prestigious UK Soul Chart where it reaches an incredible second position with the legendary EWF at the first.

In the same year the album obtains 11 submissions to the Grammy Awards in several
categories and wins 3 Akademia Music Awards from Beverly Hills with the songs "My Heart" and "Locked inside".

The final consecration takes place with the third album "Dress Code" recorded in 2015, licensed by Azzurra Music label and distributed in USA by the partner Timkatent Ent. and in Japan by P-Vine Record with Tower record distribution.
It stands out in all the international iTunes charts. Number 1 in UK, France and Spain and high placements in the Top 50 of all European countries.

"Dress Code"holds the first place in the UK Soul Chart for three weeks in a row, something never done by an Italian band, and it stays for 4 months in the Top 30. In Japan it reaches the 5th place of the iTunes R&B Chart.

The album "Connections" # 4 rotates on the BBC and in all British radio stations, # 5 in the UK Soul Chart, # 16 in the Japanese R&B iTunes Chart and in the top 30 of all European charts in the Smooth Jazz section.


The song "Now" is included in the most prestigious English compilation of Soul music "Luxury Soul"

Now countless invitations to the most accredited Jazz Festivals nationwide, such as the Viterbo JazzUp Festival, the Pozzuoli Jazz Festival, the My Way Jazz Festival, the Roccella Jazz Festival, the Multicultural Jazz Festival, the Jonio Jazz Festival, “Jazz and not just Jazz ”Of Fermo the review of Piazza Duomo in Messina, Maratea Jazz, Experimenta Jazz Festival, Fasano Music, Alberobello Jazz Day, Sant'Elmo Jazz and the Live Tones of Naples, Catania Jazz Festival, Catanzaro Jazz, Salerno IJF, Teano Jazz and many others include the participation in Umbria Jazz Winter 2015/2016 in Orvieto. 


In November the band made a sumptuous Tour in England performing in Manchester,
Birmingham, at the Mick Jagger Center in Dartford (London) and finally on the east coast at Lowestoft.

Equally acclaimed the Camera Soul Combo Tour in the Canaries, performing at the Hard Rock Cafè Tenerife. The band is getting ready to perform its 100th concert.

The last album "Existence" is an explosion of emotions and conquers again all the achievements of the previous albums but now the attention of the world on Camera Soul is definitive and the continuous requests for interviews prove it (the Tour of radio interviews recently of Maria Enrica in London), the continuous request for participation in concerts but above all the interest of international record companies and the appreciation and interest of the experts.

Camera Soul is identified with the motivation that accompanied the investiture last
"Akademia Music Award" from Beverly Hills chosen in July as the best Soul R&B album of July 2019: "It is the opinion of the Akademy Boards that this work represents an important contribution towards the diversity and advancement of the global music community”.

In May 2020 Camera Soul won the “2020 Music Vision Award”. In the first months of 2021 we wait impatiently for the new album.
