Mamie's Records is a record-label curated by La Mamie's that represents electronic music artists since 2016. Based in Paris and founded in 2007, the Mamie's crew is collecting vinyls since their young age. They met some musicians along the way and they would like to share with you their crushes. The first one is Kodäma... Kodäma is a music duo formed in 2014 by Kiala Ogawa (singer and composer originally from Japan and Congo) and by T-time (bassist and composer). The word ""kodama"", meaning ""echo"" in Japanese, also refers to spirits conveyed by trees and forests. According to the legends, these spirits are responsible for the the phenomenon in which the mountains echo. Kodäma’s universe is very linked to Kiala’s cultural sphere with, as a major source of inspiration, her childhood’s memories from the Japanese countryside. Kodäma is a subtle combination of electronic and acoustic sounds with Kiala’s captivating voice, blending English and Japanese.From this mixture of sounds emerges a spiritual, experimental music marked by their own neo soul groove.
