We dig daily and work with producers around the world to create and curate the sound of the Indian Ocean. These shows are carefully put together by our selectors to invoke the spirit of Babani.  

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.

@stampthewax invites us to curate a Monday Morning Mixtape

https://www.stampthewax.com/2021/03/29/monday-morning-mixtape-344/

This mixtape is a depiction of how we would love a Monday morning to sound on any of the islands of the Indian Ocean and that we want to share to the world. Whether you’re on the beach, by a river, on a mountain, in your car or at work there’s a common need to feel positive vibes to start the week at your best.

It features some gems we've found while digging for music in the region and loaded with material that we're restoring for our re-issue catalogue. It also features an upcoming track from the label's Band, Babani Soundsystem.

A revisit of Rita Abadzi - Gazeli Neva Sabah (Hour of Death).

The eire and mystifying vocals of this 1929 Greek folksong have haunted me for years.   After much contemplation and experimentation this song was born.  I hope you all enjoy!!!!

Look for more to come from 

Αμάν
Πρέπει νά σκέφτεται κανείς την ώρα του θανάτου
ότι θα μπεί στη μαύρη γής καί σβήνει τ’όνομά του.

Aman
A person must give some thought to the hour of his death;
when he will go down into the black earth
and his name will be erased.

Même si on fête la musique tous les jours au Mellotron, ce 21 juin on sort pour une nouvelle fois le soundsystem dans la rue. Alors viens nous rejoindre au 5 & 6 rue beaurepaire. 

Pour celle-ci, on compte explorer un large spectre musicale à l'image du Mellotron : , hip-hop, bass, broken, disco, house, soul, jazz, latin et oriental. Il y en aura pour tous les goûts, et pour nous entraîner sur ces notes on a la chance de vous proposer un line up de DJs résidents du Mellotron ainsi qu'un special guest :

@pouvoirmagique invoque l'esprit du Babani. Un rythme particulier venant des îles de l’océan indien, notamment, l’île Maurice et la Réunion. Babani est un état de transe que l'on atteint lors d'une cérémonie invoquant les esprits des anciens et qui amène à un rassemblement multigénérationnel. 
Babani est aussi un label regroupant des artistes du monde entier et qui partagent leur amour pour la musique électronique alliée aux rythmes de l'Océan Indien. 

Avec à la main ton mojito ou ta pinte fraiche, viens retourner la rue Beaurepaire en mode Block Party avec nous jusqu'à minuit.. et plus si affinité !

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

In the old, old time, all this land, and indeed all the whole earth was covered with sweet water. But the water dried up or disappeared somewhere, and the grasses, herbs, and plants began to spring up above the ground, and some grew, in the course of many moons, into trees, great and small, and the water was confined into streams and rivers, pools and lakes, and as the rain fell it kept the streams and rivers running, and the pools and lakes always fresh. There was no living thing moving upon the earth, until one day there sat by one of the pools a beautiful butterfly. How long she had lived, or how she came to exist, it is not known: is is suspected, however, that the water brought her forth out of some virtue that was in it. In the sky there was only the Moon glowing and shinning-on the Earth there was but this one butterfly. It is said that they met and conversed together, and that one day the Moon said: “I have an idea. I propose to make a man and a woman to live on the fruits of the Earth, for I believe that there is rich abudance of food on it for  such creatures”. This is the new Shango Records EP by Sn!per and it was born by the colors of the butterfly and the pale light of the Moon. These four tracks makes us dance and we're sure that they will make you dance too!

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals.

They sat there in the cafe and watched the reflection of the setting sun over the water and watched the dusk come to the town and they drank the fine a l'eau. People came by the cafe without being rude to see the girl because they had been the only foreigners in the village and had been there now nearly three weeks and she was a great beauty and they liked her. Then there had been the big fish today, and ordinarily there would have been much talk about that but this other was a big thing in the village too. No decent girls had ever had their hair cut short like that in this part of the country and even in Paris it was rare and strange and could be beautiful or could be very bad. It could mean too much or it could only mean showing the beautiful shape of a head that could never be shown as well. Mozes Meijer left his northern home and run south of the border. This is his first offering for Shango Records. This track will throw some beauty in your holiday. GATS, Hypsidia, Guy Maayan and Goyanu are enjoying their with true elegance and style.
