With the help of the Orchestre Regional of Reunion Island, Labelle opens a new chapter in the merging of classical and Pop music, and the heritage of Europe and the Indian Ocean.
This new LP, composed especially for the Orchestre univers, was recorded live over the course of four concerts, performed at the four corners of the Réunion, in the island’s most beautiful concert halls. A sequence of breathless trancelike moments, Post-maloya and technological experiments, the album floats between tradition and modernity, like a sonic odyssey that is only the beginning of an ongoing saga…
