Pocket Songs
"Pocket Songs" is a covers album by Carola & Karim where they offer a journey of selected songs, transforming them into voice and guitar. Those songs that you take with you in your luggage.
It all started with a single song, a song that we both knew and always wanted to sing. A song that led to us sharing an afternoon together with instruments in our hands and coffee on the table. We knew right away that something was happening, the song wasn't the same anymore, its colour and shape changed and it transformed into a different song. And this led to the next song and our frantic journey of singing and playing began.
We discovered songs that had always been there, in the voice of Bowie and Jobim, in Chet Baker's trumpet or in Rosa Passos' guitar. Now they are in our hands and with your help we can record these beautiful songs. Intimate and simple versions, with a little bit of humor and most of all with lots of love.
Who are we?
Carola Zafarana is an actrice and singer, born in The Netherlands and living in Barcelona since 2004.
Karim Habib El Fakih is a Venezolean musician and composer, studied in Chile and living in Barcelona since two years.
