Recording live matepe music has always been a challenge. Capturing its sound outside a Deze comes out so clean but makes it sound so “mechanical”.
Though recording it in a Deze could be the best, it comes with challenges. The buzzing from the bottle tops around the Deze always dominate swallowing the sound of the Matepe.
We removed the bottle top buzzers, the results were not so good. The missing buzzers bothered us. We tried different approached to bring back the buzzing but rather softer. The result is amazing.
