A la tête d’un trio éclatant, entouré d’invités, le guitariste Yotam Silberstein présente un album qui fait la somme de ses amours musicales et puise ses couleurs dans différentes régions de la planète. Frevo du Pernambouc, samba de Rio de Janeiro, camdombé d’Uruguay ou chamamé d’Argentine, poncuté de haltes en Andalousie et au Moyen-Orient, « Universos » est le disque resplendissant d’un jazzman du monde qui a gagné le respect partout où il a posé sa guitare.
