OLONE 024LP
|
LP version. Oluma was founded in 2021 by bassist Gregor Nicolai, drummer André van der Heide, and saxophonist Roman Polatzky. The instrumental compositions of the nine-piece band can be categorized as global groove. They create dense grooves that are played by energetic brass lines and lead into virtuoso improvisations. However, the four brass players can also accompany the audience into a dreamy world in a floating and light manner. Berlin's multicultural scene with its diverse musical influences has shaped André and Gregor and brought them together. They also share a love of handmade groove music and a passion for danceable beats. They met Roman at the Musikhochschule Leipzig, where the international band came together. The album title Cooking Time did not come about by chance: the music is created in joint songwriting sessions, where beats are tinkered with and ideas are sung. The band enlisted delay nerd and Afrobeat aficionado Umberto Echo for their recordings, who uses old analog technology to create a nostalgic sound that meets modern production. With their debut album, Oluma wants to share the idea that music can contribute to global understanding and connect people. Carolina Vallejo from the One World Records label has provided exactly the right environment for this. Oluma presents a sonorous testimony to the universal language of music. Their rousing performances and artistic diversity make them one of the most exciting bands on the contemporary music scene.
