Sales Information:
Post-Maloya EP is characterized by vivid dream-like journey through which traces
a path of exploration. Here you will find the maloya stamp, which is Reunionese
traditional music, both in the rhythms and the instruments used, like the
valiha. This traditional tubular harp from Madagascar is played by Vola on the
track ‘Jaojoby’. Vola was taught by Rajery himself, who is widely
considered as master of this instrument. This track is an homage to Jaojoby,
king of Salegy, a popular musician in Madagascar. The hypnotic sounds evoke
distant dimensions and resonate like shamanic incantations whose aim is to
gently lead us towards the trance. As the title suggests -
“Post-maloya” is the exploration of new musical processes mixed with
the use of traditional maloya instrumentation. This is an appropriate name for
this new opus, which is more electronic and percussive; carving an experimental
path between electronic and traditional music. In parallel with the creation
this EP, the Regional Conservatory of Réunion Island has given free reign to
Labelle to create a series of live performances which he played all around the
island last month, including an original creation linked to his expression of
“Post-maloya” supported by an ensemble of eleven musicians from
Réunion Island’s regional orchestra.
