São Paris was a French-Brazilian duo composed by Leticia Maura and Thomas Ferrière, launched by the historical and extinct french label of electronic music FCOM – led by the iconic DJ Laurent Garnier and the producer Eric Morand.They released two albuns, Movimento and LA.
MOVIMENTO, the first album by São Paris, was universally acclaimed in the electronica world by its unique sonic atmosphere.
LÁ is a sound film shot in real or imagined countries. Some scenes are in China, with the delicate duo of Ly and Leticia, a sensual and mysterious homage to Wong Kar Wai. A place of unexpected moments. We dream of the dream. Yes, SÃO PARIS is LÁ (Texts by Eric Morand).
