Papa Legba Recordings Ltd. company information, Employees & Contact Information

Papa Legba ltd is a London based music production company that manages the work of film composer Frank Ilfman. Ilfman has successfully dedicated himself to performing and understanding music. From the moment he was given Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at age 8, the seed was sown. He studied trombone and piano at the Jaffa Conservatorium of Music in Tel Aviv and as a young teenager was playing lead trombone with the Tel Aviv Dixieland Band. In 1984, during a visit to Berlin, Ilfman got introduced to German composer Klaus Doldinger, who happened to be scoring The NeverendingStory at that time. A visit to the film’s recording sessions made Ilfman fall deeper in love with the art of film music and commit fully to his ambition. He worked on his first television production, when he was just 17 years old, with composer Jan Hammer on the acclaimed television series The Chancer, starring Clive Owen. Since then Ilfman has scored more than forty films and numerous television shows. Among his many talents is his ability to diagnose how music can best contribute to a film; from brooding melancholy to playful joviality, his work covers a wide spectrum of genres and has gained him much respect in the field. Recent scores include the latest Legendary Pictures Fanfare Logo recorded at Abbey Road Studios. The Award-winning films Big Bad Wolves and Ghost Stories, with scores performed at the legendary Air Studios and the coming of age film The Etruscan Smile produced by Hollywood legend Arthur Cohn. Other credits include: May I Kill U?, a dark comedy, directed by BAFTA award winner Stuart Urban and starring Kevin Bishop; Mercenaries, directed by Paris Leonti, starring Robert Fucilla and Billy Zane; the three-part award winning documentaries The Iraq War and Putin, Russia and the West for BBC and the internationally acclaimed heartbreaking film Bitter Seeds, directed by Micha Peled.
