Munir Hossn Returns With “Vientre”
Munir Hossn has released Vientre, an album dedicated to his mother, who passed away in the spring of 2021. The multi-instrumentalist’s vision began as an homage to all women. As such, he recruited an incredible lineup of female musicians and singers to bring it to life.
“The idea of making an album with and dedicated to all women became a necessity, a very special story full of mixed emotions,” Hossn explains. “As the son of a very young mother who was still discovering how to enjoy life, I spent much of my childhood with my aunts, cousins, grandmothers, teachers; great women who taught me what today is for me, the most valuable lesson in my existence: to have love towards others, towards nature and towards life itself. I dedicate this album to all the women of our planet and especially to my mother who left us on the morning of 05/10/2021. May she rest in peace and may my music always make her smile.”
Hossn, who was born in Brazil, is a multi-instrumentalist that draws from grooves around the world for a unique sound. His bass playing on the Vientre is mind-blowing with intricate rhythms and beautiful note choices.

This has become one of the more profound albums I’ve heard in the last decade of musical exploration. Certainly worth listening to once. Give it a spin.
