World: Susheela Raman - Music For Crocodiles
Music for Crocodiles
This album has more songs in English and even one in French, as well as featuing songs and musicians from South India. It's now about six or seven years since I started work with Sam, Hilaire, Djanuno and Aref; time for the sauce to thicken and our complicity to deepen. We had been playing incarnations of some of these songs live for a time and, after rehearsals, spectacular biryanis and bass amp fires at home in London, we recorded the body of the album in a few days at Stuart Bruce's studio in Wilthsire in September 2004. Then, in October, Sam, Stuart and I went to Tamilnadu to work with some superb musicians in Chennai (aka Madrs). Even though much of the repertoire I perform is South Indian in origin, it was my first chance to record with Indian musicians. It was an overwhelming experience. (The dosas were perfect). The last part of the adventure was to mix the album with Husky Hoskulds in Los Angeles who brought his volcanic soundscape and guided us through the quesadilla menu.
