Saravah is the very first independent french label open to all kinds of cultural exchanges.
In 1966, Pierre Barouh created Saravah with the purpose of publishing the soundtrack to a Claude Lelouch film, composed by Francis Lai. The company obtained great success while "Un homme et une femme" won the golden palm in Cannes Festival. After this success Pierre Barouh started producing revolutionary artists such as Brigitte Fontaine, Jacques Higelin, Nana Vasconcelos, Steve Lacy, as well as other African and Brazilian musicians.
Between 1967 and 1977, Saravah produced more than hundred albums, recorded in its own studio, promoted by self-organized festival and original movies creations ("Saravah" shooted in Brazil in 1969, "ça va, ça vient"...).
In the eighties, Saravah found an audience and a rebirth (after a financial crisis) in Japan, where Pierre Barouh recorded two albums with the new wave's leaders (Yukuhiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yasuaki Shimizu,...). Publishing and producing activity remains continuous and fresh since the nineties, more then ever open towards the world and magic encounters which are materialized through albums, events and films.
