(Setlist & timecodes tout en bas)

Nées de la nécessité pour les esclaves aux origines diverses de communiquer à l’insu des colons, les langues créoles sont le fruit du mélange de sens et de sons empruntés aux langues et dialectes de peuples rentrés en collision du fait de l’Histoire. Plus de 10 millions de personnes sur trois continents ont la créolité en partage depuis trois siècles. Dans ces communautés et pays structurés par l’histoire de la colonisation esclavagiste et racialisée, les langues créoles sont partout uniques en leur genre et en constante évolution.  

Cette sélection assemble quelques exemples de mises en musique des problématiques liées à l'utilisation de la langue créole dans un contexte postcolonial. Nous nous intéressons dans ce mix aux territoires francophones des Antilles et de l’Océan Indien. Continuer à y parler le créole de sa famille et de son terroir, c’est donc autant une façon d’honorer ses racines africaines et familiales que de faire (sur)vivre sa culture minoritaire face à la France et au français. Dans ces zones insulaires entre deux eaux, la diglossie prend souvent le pas sur le bilinguisme, le français éclipsant le créole dans des perspectives d’ascension sociale. On peut y voir le combat de David contre Goliath, de la ruralité contre la mondialisation, de la modestie provinciale contre le prestige social, des descendants d’esclaves contre les néo-colons. Être fier de sa langue et de son accent, c’est à l’échelle individuelle une étape importante dans la connaissance et l'affirmation de soi et à l’échelle communautaire un pas de plus vers la sauvegarde de sa culture d’origine dans une planète globalisée où se lissent les différences au profit des mastodontes. 

La musique est un lieu idéal d’affirmation d’une fierté en construction et le moyen d’expression d’une certaine "confusion" (comme le chante Erick Paul) créée par ce bilinguisme qui écartèle. On parle aussi de musiques créoles: "ni noires, ni blanches", comme l’écrivait Bertrand Dicale, ces musiques sont elles aussi la fusion entre les mélodies et rythmes africains et européens des générations précédentes ainsi que des influences présentes sur leur lieu de création. Voix et porte-voix du peuple, des musiciens créolophones luttent contre ce complexe d’infériorité et d’insécurité linguistique, adressant un message de revalorisation et de réappropriation heureuse face aux dangers de l’assimilation: "Parler français, non !.. Parler créole !" clame le chanteur haïtien Rodrigue Millien.

JO BISSA x KAN - Losean

Dutch music producer JO BISSA and Mauritian artist KAN have embarked on a captivating sonic journey with their full-length album, “Losean." Four years in the making, “Losean" emerges as a musical testament to the power of collaboration, crossing continents and cultures to unite two visionary artists whose shared passion for environmental awareness and artistry knows no bounds. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds, JO BISSA and KAN have sculpted a collection of tracks that dive deep into the heart of the ocean's mysteries and the urgent need to protect it.

Rooted in the Mauritian cultural landscape and inspired by the troubling reality of pollution in the region's waters, "Losean" serves as both a plea and a celebration. The album's title, derived from the Mauritian Creole word for 'ocean’, encapsulates its essence: an expanse of musical waves that mirror the vastness and vitality of the sea KAN. His mastery as a multi-instrumentalist seamlessly blends with JO BISSA's innovative downtempo beats. The result is a hypnotic fusion that resonates with the rhythms of Mauritian Sega, a tribute to the cultural roots that ground this musical endeavor, mirroring the different backgrounds of the two artists behind this project.

As an ode to the sea's majesty, "Losean" extends beyond the auditory experience. Each track is a chapter in an ecological narrative, a call to action, and an invitation to immerse oneself in the heart of the natural world. KAN's 'Trash to Music' project, born from his dedication to confronting pollution through art, is echoed in the album's melodic exploration. From the depths of the ocean's soul to the distant shores of electronic innovation, this album becomes a vehicle for change. The remarkable synergy between JO BISSA and KAN remains an anomaly. Although they've never met face-to-face, their music bridges the physical and emotional gaps, a testament to the unifying power of art and shared purpose. "Losean" is a testament to their profound connection, a connection that transcends boundaries and speaks directly to the heart.

A Rhythm Odyssey  #1  - 5th March 2024

@dj-fulltono is a visionary in the genre of footwork. Having had an enormous influence on the shaping and evolution of the genre in his home country Japan, his sonic explorations have long since spread and continue to influence the footwork community worldwide. His minimalistic yet dense, shuffling, shifting, polyrhythmic beats drift, slip and catch up with themselves, keeping every dancer on their toes. His releases on Exit Records, Booty Tune as well as collaborations with Skip Club Orchestra are some of the most unique and forward thinking productions in the genre. Much to our chagrin many of this prolific producer's productions remain unreleased but luckily for us this mix, which was recorded live at Compufunk in Osaka in 2023, is a treasure trove of his secret gems. Enjoy this 90 min journey through DJ Fulltono's unique mind and captivating rhythms.

BODY MIX 018 | DJ Fulltono

An unexpected seduction. An instinctive call where it is impossible to resist percussive and bewitching melodies.

Babani is the state of trance reached during a ceremony invoking ancestors’ spirits leading to a multigenerational gathering with a common denominator: The rhythms of the Indian Ocean helped by the ravane, this percussion instrument made of goat skin and which has its roots on the island of Mauritius.
Babani Records is the music label bringing together a collective of artists from around the world connected by a universal goal of fusing electronic sounds and music from the islands of the Indian Ocean.

Electronic beats and sound waves blend with traditional rhythms. It is a natural connection with the past with an eye on the future!
