D'Abruzzo


D'Abruzzo is a musical family now in its 2nd generation. The irresistible combination of energy & experience is the reason why Maurice & Aaron D'Abruzzo are turning heads with their unique brand of latin soul - a saucy blend of latin rhythms, topped with sizzling rock n soul vocals. On hearing them for the first time, George Negus (legendary Australian TV presenter) declared: "D'Abruzzo - they don't come much cooler than that!"

‘Up on the Beat’ is the latest musical offering from Maurice and Aaron D’Abruzzo. On hearing them for the first time, the legendary George Negus said, “D’Abruzzo,  they don’t come much cooler than that!”. “Up On The Beat”, fuses the ‘cool’ with the ‘hot’, creating a saucy blend of Latin rhythms & sizzling rock & soul vocals or ‘Latin Soul’, as defined by the hippest father/son duo in town. This is an album to start a party with, yet retains the deep musicality that has been a feature of this extraordinary musical family. “Up On The Beat” will have you up on your feet with its funky, spine-tingling and complex rhythms. ‘Step into the Light’ wouldn’t sound out of place in a Gospel church, ‘No Way To Stop’ crosses musical boundaries at the speed of light and ‘Walk Tight’ is up there with the Soul classics.Up On The Beat’ features some classy players. Along with Maurice D'Abruzzo on vocals, guitars, keyboards, & assorted percussion, Aaron D’Abruzzo on vocals and bass, special guests include the ABC’s James Valentine (The Models), who features on sax on several tracks; Vicente Sebastian (Watussi), congas, percussion; Adrian K (Aust.
