Lejos ahora de colores flamencos y del swing más rítmico, el nuevo proyecto nos presenta un jazz profundo y elaborado que explora las posibilidades de la orquesta. Con un grupo de músicos de confianza y espacios para la voz con toques mediterráneos, las composiciones del saxofonista brillan con luz propia. Además de las piezas escritas especialmente para la ocasión, Perico Sambeat da también nueva vida a algunos temas propios anteriores, como “Matilda”, que ahora se nos muestra en todo su esplendor.

Ziribuye es un disco de jazz con mayúsculas, aquí no vemos a Perico con su vena flamenquita sino que vemos al Perico más hardbopero rodeado de un sexteto que tiene química y con unos temas de esos que se te meten en la cabeza. El sonido del sexteto está condicionado por la textura del teclado de José Reinoso ofreciendo un concepto muy parecido al quinteto de Raynald, que está soberbio en este Ziribuye. Paco también se sale y hace un precioso solo en Cató-scopio. En Rosa dels vents podemos oír a la hermana de Sambeat cantando una bonita canción.
