Producer **Iqram Ismail** conducting the chorus for **Wally Seck** in our **Mezzanine** live room.

Senegalese rising star Wally Seck brought a top-notch crew of musicians and personnel through our Mezzanine studio this month for a spirited vocal session with studio engineer Violette Furton. We had an absolute blast having Seck and his vocalists in our space, as they made the most of our Mezzanine’s live room’s high ceilings and professionally engineered acoustics.

Seck is the son of famed Dakar musician Thione Seck, part of the West African griot oral tradition and founder of the influential mbalax group Raam Daan. Wally is continuing and broadening the family tradition out–after an early career that found him pursuing an entirely different road from his family’s history–while also blowing up globally as the afrobeats movement, derailed in its international takeover by the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to expand its reach and influence around the world.

Check out some photos of the session above, and listen to Seck’s single “Natural Love” below.
