We Are Birds - Live Somewhere (2019)

Over less than three years, We Are Birds combined local stages, festivals and studio recording sessions. After being widely acclaimed in Marseille in 2012, they participated in the Jazz Festival in Dakar, Senegal. In 2013, they start performing in French festivals including "Jazz in Porquerolles". They spend most of 2014 creating and recording.

The meeting with the artist and producer Ulrich "Yul" Edorh (Nina Simone, Asa, Joe Chiccarelli... ) will trigger a major turn of the band's artistic direction.
In November 2015, WAB releases a 4-tracks EP, a foretaste of a first album to be released in 2017 for which the Birds invite major artists for collaborations, such as Arnold McCuller (vocal, James Taylor, Beck, Bonnie Raitt, Phil Collins) who will sing in French for the first time of his career. Exceptional participations follow, with Blick Bassy (vocal), Fausto Beccalossi (accordion, Al di Meola), Stéphane Guery (guitar, Archi Shepp, Last Poets) and at last, as an evidence, Hannah Tolf (vocal improviser) --Hannah will simply finalize the Birds' synergy on stage and in the album. This interconnection gave birth to the airy atmosphere suspended between earth and sky, that is specific of the "Live Somewhere" DVD.
