"Made in Kuba (Live)" is available as limited black double LP in a noble cut out gatefold.
An all-analogue double live album capturing SIENA ROOT’s full dynamic range from light to shade. "Dynamic Root Rock Experience" remains the best description of their sound, and the new live album "Made in Kuba" embodies that spirit. A follow-up to their acclaimed "Root Jam", it includes tracks from their full catalog, none repeated. As with all SIENA ROOT records, it’s fully analogue. While most bands wouldn't bring a tape recorder to a gig, SIENA ROOT embraces the no-compromise approach. No overdubs, no tricks - just real energy from stage to speakers. The core quartet Sam Riffer, Love Forsberg, Zubaida Solid, Johan Borgström is joined live by Erik Peterson and Lisa Isaksson. Longtime engineer Ove Noring handled the tape recording. True to tradition, the album is best experienced on vinyl. It’s half-speed mastered for superior sound - a nod to old-school vinyl craft. This gives the record a warm, rich, and immersive analog depth digital can't match.
Half Speed mastering/vinyl cut at Emil Berliner Studios, Berlin. Recorded live with the Root Rock Mobile Studio at KuBa in Jena, Germany March 13-15, 2024. Mixed at Root Rock Studio, Stockholm, by SIENA ROOT.
