Acoustic by Oumou Sangaré (VINYL LP)

This album was recorded in two days at Midi Live studios in Villetaneuse, a suburb of Paris. The musicians recorded all the songs live, without amplification, headphones, retakes or overdubs. A way of recording ‘with no safety net’ that afforded each musician and vocalist the joy of reconnecting with the natural sound of his or her instrument, and gave the Oumou Sangaré the opportunity to capture the emotional truth of every moment.

Cet album a été enregistré en deux jours au studio Midi Live de Villetaneuse, dans les conditions du live, sans amplification, sans casques d’écoute, sans re-recording. Un mode d’enregistrement « sans filet » qui a offert aux musiciens et choristes le plaisir de renouer avec la sonorité naturelle de leur instrument, et à Oumou Sangaré l’opportunité de graver la vérité d’un moment.
