Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Sadeo (feat. Feather)

Most fans of the blues believe it was born in the Mississippi delta shortly before 1900. They are definitevely wrong.The blues had its roots in other forms of older black music that are traced to the music of West Africa. In that sense, Mali music constituting the DNA of the blues and the griots can be identified as the direct ancestors of the rural bluesmen.Baba Sissoko is from Mali and he is the last undisputed griot alive.His voice evokes the lost vibe of the deepest and wildest side of west Africa. A magic land that he largely crossed since his childhood in singing and playing with his legendary grandfather Djeli Baba Sissoko. 

With the help of the soulful voices of Djeli Mah  Damba Koroba  and Djana Sissoko, respectively his 78 y.o. mother and his young daughter he recorded  “Three Gees”.

They are the voices of the past, the present and the future living in the twilight zone where the malian roots blooms into a new sound of hope and happiness.

Involved are also Fernando "Bugaloo" Velez on percussions and the grammy winner Corey Harris on slide guitar.

Somebody called it as Bambara Mystic Soul, we dig it and really hope you enjoy listening this album as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Another draft I "finished". It started with the piano loop from a jam I recorded in December 2016 at my friend's in Rodalquilar. I added up an additional trumpet take I didn't use for 'bristol chords'.

Vocals are taken from a CD I found at the library : "Le Chant Des Femmes Bulgares".

As I get more emotionally detached from my work, I don't really know much what to think about it. I kinda like it, though I hear a voice that says "it could be better". Sure, but in in the end, it is what it is. And I move on.

Blind Faith Records is from Roma, Italy and is an independent boutique label that is trying to bring soulful music in a cold  digital world.
Blind Faith Records headquarters in Roma, Pigneto.
The core of the label is a collective of young and middle aged talented musicians, arrangers and songwriters  who are working with the same attitude and spirit of the pioneeristic labels from the early 60's and the late 70's. 
The heart of the label is our vintage studio loaded with odds and weird gear as tape and plate reverbs, iconic and unsung keys and synths and a top selection of vintage mics, ribbons, tubes and dynamics.
Our goal is pursuing only the highest standards of recorded music following in the path of the analog masters of the past. Looking back to move  forward!
We want to ensure only the real, best handmade analog sound possible.
Real songs and sounds for real people.
House of Baba Sissoko, Martha High, Sugaray Rayford, The Italian Royal Family, I Violenti Di Roma Bene and of course of Luca Sapio.
