Marco Cafolla joins me for a chat in a noisy coffee shop

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

I was joined in a central London coffee shop by pianist and composer Marco Cafolla to discuss his work with Mama Terra, Federation of the Disco Pimp and solo as Cafolla. Marco is all about collaboration, while taking absolutely responsibility for the quality of his playing, composing and producing.

It was a joy to chat with him about his impressive work, especially having seen him with Mama Terra at Love Supreme in July 2025.

The latest Federation album is Gratuitous and you will find my review of that online here.

In our conversation, Marco reveals the impending album from Mama Terra, which is expected in the spring.

Thanks to Marco for allowing me to use clips from both Mama Terra and Gratuitous alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
