Pascal Ohsé first came to the attention of American audiences as the featured trumpeter on the albums of French producer Saint Germain.Now he makes his solo recording debut as Soel, a name he selected to honor his West African heritage.
His new disc is Memento, a mix of jazz and electronic beats that’s a throw-back to ‘60s and 70’s funk, the era that inspired Soel to become a musician.
On the album, he also samples heavily from the work of New York City spoken-word duo The Last Poets.
