Enzo Favata, among the most active and noted Sardinian musicians on the international jazz scene, is a versatile artist who likes to fully investigate the universe of sound. His artistic journey brought him through the experimentation of different musical languages, the combination of modern and archaic ingredients and the exploration of different music cultures far apart from each other.
He plays soprano, sopranino and tenor sax, bass clarinet and ethnic woodwinds instruments, especially the ones characteristic of the Sardinian tradition. He is also able to use live electronics that employs together with acoustic instruments.
