Cicco Sanchez Colpa DI Dio

"There’s no leading, no following. We’re in the moment together. They even know when I’m going to take a breath — I can feel it." Tony Malaby. "It sounds simple to say, but the three of us have real creative chemistry together. Chemistry is the difference between just a group of good musicians playing in a room and something magical happening." Tom Rainey. "The longevity of it means something — there’s so much life and love in this group. As for the music, it’s about the joy of surprise. For some people, the unexpected can make them uncomfortable — for us, it’s inspiring." Angelica Sanchez

Wendy Dio, who has served as the curator of Dio's musical legacy and everything that relates to her late husband's career (including the Ronnie James Dio hologram tour), says: "I am very excited to be working with BMG, a label that still has a passion for rock music. They will be making the complete DIO catalog available again with some interesting surprises."

When not working as one half of the production team of Deep Forest, Michel Sanchez composes eclectic worldbeat soundscapes drawn from all corners of the planet. His musical pieces often sound like flipping through radio stations from high above the Earth or a soundtrack to a film that has never been produced. Sanchez' first solo work was Windows, released in 1998, followed by Hieroglyphes in 2000.
Think of what might happen if there were a collaborative effort among Weather Report, New York Voices, Cirque du Soleil, and Rob Mounsey's Flying Monkey Orchestra - all pumped up on steroids - and you begin to get the idea…
