MASSA BEHA · 2021
ALBUM INFO
ATEMPO’s debut album introduces the trio’s musical language — contemporary jazz shaped by Mediterranean, Latin, Balkan and Middle Eastern influences. Rhythmic complexity, strong melodies and improvisation come together in the sound that became the foundation of ATEMPO.
Massa Beha was produced with the support of ACUM, the Independent Creators Fund and the Pais Council for Culture and Art.
“A fun, happy and groovy album. It blew my mind.”
— Noam Nayshool, On The Record
SUPREME CHORD · 2026
ALBUM INFO
ATEMPO’s second album expands the trio’s musical world, moving between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern colors, Latin and Afro-Caribbean grooves, African rhythms and Balkan influences. An energetic and rhythmically adventurous collection of original compositions inspired by places, encounters and moments.
“The results are infectious, with a solid groove.”
— Carl Medsker, All About Jazz
SENSES AND FLAVORS · COMING 2026
ALBUM INFO
ATEMPO’s third album transforms memory, place and lived experience into music, bringing together contemporary jazz, multicultural influences and original compositions shaped by the past three years. A deeply personal album about memory, change and the way experiences from other senses can become sound.
