ROUTE 96

Description

Sicilian guitarist Matteo Mancuso has established himself as a global force with his 2023 debut album, The Journey, hailed as one of the most acclaimed instrumental guitar albums of his generation and compared to icons such as Steve Vai, Pat Metheny, and Guthrie Govan. Renowned for his stunning fingerstyle technique, melodic sophistication, and fearless improvisation, Mancuso has received praise from legends like Joe Bonamassa, Tosin Abasi, and Al Di Meola, who described his playing as "light-years ahead." Today, with his second solo album Route 96, Mancuso delivers a more confident and expansive statement — showcasing a mature and avant-garde artist redefining modern guitar virtuosity.
