Sunset France Productions is proud to present
its four labels, devoted to music from around the world : Playasound,
Air Mail Music, Manuiti and Crossing Records. So far Playasound
has produced over 300 CDs of World Music, all of which are available
and on sale today. We continue to release four new recordings of
traditional music each month. We were also the first to produce
DVDs devoted to World Music. Playasound's adventure began in 1974,
when Alain Normand, its director, met the extraordinary Angolan
singer Bonga. Then came the musical cultures of the Indian Ocean,
Asia... and finally an interest in music from everywhere else in
the world. Today Playasound prides itself on being one of the French
labels that have succeeded in building up a catalogue without paying
any heed to fashions or passing crazes. Quality is the keynote of
our editorial policy, and we are constantly aiming to do better!
More than sixty major artists have recorded for Playasound, including
Adama Dramé, Carlos Do Carmo, Parisa, Trân Quang Haï,
Katrien Delavier, Hussein El Masry, Rassegna, Oedo Sukeroku Taiko,
Bonga, Haydee Alba and many more...
