When you come from Madagascar, one of the poorest and corrupt countries in the world, the abolition of inequalities inevitably strikes a distinctive chord. Feminism isn’t just about exchanging ideas: it’s about survival, if feminism calls for fairness, Kristel will earn her freedom fair and square through music.
She pulls off high school diploma by15, collects music collabs. While performing live the crowd has eyes only for her, putting the frontmen on the back burner.  Joining forces with brother Benkheli and hubby Sylvano, Kristel makes her own way. Turns the tables with a spontaneous and high-voltage pop. Pure heresy in the vicinity. 
It took the encounter with Gilles Lejamble (The Dizzy Brains) and Marc Antoine Moreau (Amadou et Matiam) to help launch the rocket songstress. Their first EP, directed by JeanLamoot (Bashung, NoirDésir..) and mastered by ChrisAthens (BeastyBoys, Coldplay, ErykahBadu…)KRISTEL c'est :  KRISTEL chant et bass  - BENKHELI guitare - SYLVANO batterie

Who is she? 	
What is it?  A woman - A Bassist – A Frontwoman 

Above all? 	
From Gossip to Prince via Skunk Anansie with a hint of tropical touch. She is the next generation of the indie scene of Tana  at only 23 years old!
	
How? 		
At the age of 8, she encountered the genius bassist, Jaco Pastorius (Weather Report) , and it became crystal clear that she will be the bassist, join forces with her brother Benkheli (guitar) and husband Sylvano (drums). 

Result? 	
The kind of rock that will strike you with a hot iron to proudly brandish their roots, which is somewhat ironic for an island that has electricity covering 23%.

 It was after a performance in 2017 Libertalia Festival that launched the career of the rocket songstress by music label itself.

Her first 5 tracks was released shortly after, titled TNM, which means hangover.  Then her performance at MaMa festival Paris and Bars en Trans Rennes established her position as the next newcomer. 

Kristel is not only feminism that puts itself on display but, above all, the female generation in a state of emergency that is mapping out their future. The future for themselves and for the nation.
	                
 On August  31st , 2018,  her story continues with the launch of first album , titled « IRONY »

Malalako Taloha, my old flame in malagasy. It is a discussion between two lovers, one is jealous about his former lover and the other one reassuring her that he does have a past and she is his former lover and if he is with her now it's for a reason. What is in the past belongs there. Been there...

Malalako Taloha

Hello everyone! This is my first malagasy collaboration and it's a track produced by a super dope producer from Madagascar as well called Hannova! This is Mahatsiaro Anao which means "when I think about you".
I hope you enjoy!

Matsiaro Anao

Hannova ft Niu Raza - Mahatsiaro Anao

Une de mes berceuse preferees que maman aimait me chanter!

A La Claire Fontaine

Kristel delivers us a social satire of the everyday’s chaotic life of the Mal- agasy. A song as a commitment to act now to provide a better perspec- tivefor future generations

I Got You

« Out and Loud » is, of sorts, Kristel’s « Live and Let Die »; the energy needed to make their star shine and defy the political and economic slump overtaking the paradise that is Madagascar.
« Out and Loud » is a rollercoaster of contradictory emotions that translate the difficulties the trio faces, and their fiery will to not be let down by this often hostile environment. Kristel brings tribal rhythms to « Out and Loud », showing that they are ready for battle, ready to defend their freedom of speech, and especially their rebellion towards the « no future » culture adopted by the new generation on the island. But there are also surprises like guitars that flirt with synthesisers and programming. The tours have forced the band to grow, and it’s also their thirst for freedom that pushes them to evolve their rock sound towards a more ambitious production. « Out and Loud » becomes a hymn, militant and hedonistic. Fuck the problems, it is time to dance on the embers.

Out Loud

" My Man "  Written, composed & mixed by Kristel, Laurent de Boisgisson & Greg F. under the guidance of Adam Clayton.

A Science Fiction stroll, with increasing intensity, searching for love that creates and repairs. With a minimalist intro, vibrating bass lines and guitar riffs… it’s an explosive cocktail that sets the tone for this first single, an extract from the next mini-album “Take it Easy”. With new collaborations including the guidance of Adam Clayton (U2) for the arrangements and mixing, Kristel is back and fired up : rock energy, spiced with touches of pop and trip-hop.

Take It Easy

My Man

Mafy Loha means stubborn in Malagasy.Kristel talks about the environmental situation, pollution, deforestation issue because this young generation is in a state of emergency planning their future for themselves and for the nation.
You can feel the excitement, the menace and the pressure. A hybrid music where eclectic influences come together combining electric guitars, bass and synthesizer with a hardrock tune like an homage to nature and to the land of the Big Island.
