Lenka lente

The Lenka lente publishing house was created in 2004 in Paris, by Guillaume Belhomme. After having published a handful of records (Gypsophile, ECFA Quartet), they have dedicated themselves since 2013 to the publishing of books and books-records. Two collections provide the publishing catalog: Vision (works of literature, poetry or testimony, fraying, in one way or another, with the supernatural) and Music (monographs or books by artists, reissues of historical documents)—the two collections can sometimes host the same publication.
