Lookman Adekunle Salami, widely known as L.A. Salami, graced our studio for one of the earliest live music video recordings at Arcus Sounds, for our series the Sounder Sessions, — an experience that unfolded uniquely and left a lasting impression.
L.A. Salami has made a significant impact on the indie music scene with his soulful vocals and poetic storytelling, an artist with a profound ability to connect with his audience, L.A. Salami continues to leave an indelible mark on the music landscape, and his Arcus Sounds sessions stands as a testament to his versatility and artistic depth.
Having toured alongside Arcus producer and engineer Danny as his drummer, L.A. Salami brought a special connection to our studio. This session took place during the creation of his 6th studio album, ‘Ottoline,’ released via Sunday Best.
With a distinct vision in mind, L.A. Salami entered our studio with the intention of presenting a completely different version of his upcoming single, ‘Day to Day in the Systemic Pandemic.’ Unlike the rap style featured in the studio recording, he opted for a delicate and beautiful acoustic performance, transforming the essence of the song.
This session marked a pivotal moment as we witnessed the song evolve into a completely unique rendition, capturing the raw beauty of L.A. Salami’s acoustic interpretation. The performance unfolded in front of us, creating a genuine and captivating musical experience.
