About this item

Angèle David-Guillou is best known for a brace of critically acclaimed electro-acoustic dream-pop albums under the alias Klima.

Also known for her signature contributions to cult Anglo-French ensemble Piano Magic and for cameos on albums by the likes of The Go! Team and Peter Astor.

Angèle’s debut album under her given name is a largely instrumental work, predominantly consisting of melodically opulent, emotionally compelling compositions for the grand piano.

Inspired by the direct, elemental melodies of French folk and the flamboyant arrangements of European and Latin American Baroque music, ‘Kourouma’ is hallmarked by a purity of expression.

There are other influences at play on ‘Kourouma’ - the clear, mellifluous lines of Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman’s ‘Music For Children’ (‘Schulwerk’ ) and the intertwining counterpoints and percussive patter of Moondog are consistent touchstones.

For fans of Gonzalez, Hauschka, Nils Frahm.
