Shika Shika is very proud to share our last release of 2021 - “Labalamer”, a four track EP created between the sun and the waves of the indian ocean by Reunionese drummer and producer Eat My Butterfly.

Labalamer was composed during 2021 after Dilo’s return to her native La Reunion island and her roots. The release shows the textures, simplicity and slow movement of this re-encounter with her homeland, embracing the traditions of La Reunion and its maloya music. On “Labalamer” she creates an unique, emotional and intimate sound, exploring the lines between Dilo’s own roots, her instrument (drums and percussion) and electronic music. In a dialog between downtempo & maloya, each track presents its own entrancing universe and colour. Meanwhile themes like bereavement, expatriation and an inner journey of discovery are threaded through the release.

Eat My Butterfly has emerged as one of the most exciting young artists to emerge from the flourishing and diverse scene on the island and in the Indian ocean and the EP also features a selection of fellow Reunionese artists such as Christine Salem, Aleksand Saya and Justine Mauvin ‘aka’ Sibu. They are joined by names from further afield such as French artist Dal, Corsican bass player Alix Guglielmi and a special collaboration with Shika Shika co-founder El Búho

We´re happy to announce the vinyl edition pressed in Reunion Island. Our first African pressing :)

Today marks the dawn of a new era in the politics world and 2016 saw monumental shifts in how the world is shaping up for the future. Inspired by a atmosphere of desperation, frustration and a lack of hope we went to music to seek solace, inspiration and a reminder of the incredible things humans are able to do if they are open minded, work together, cross borders and get creative.

Mare Insularum translates as Sea of Dreams and also the name of one of the moon's many seas. In line with our collective, Shika Shika's, vision, the album not only showcases music that blurs borders and genres, seeking inspiration from past and present, but also music that offers hope, escape, inspiration...

Despite these shifts and the apparent slide into a dangerous new world, at Shika Shika we also believe 2017 is going to be a year of resistance and of hope in every corner of the globe. We believe in the power of music and we believe in the power of collaboration. 

We want to say thanks to all the artists for contributing new tracks, edits and pieces directly written for this compilation.

Cyma - Ancestralizado (Feat. Ramiro Gonzalo)

In the precise center of a powerful land hides a little magic cabin where animals of all kinds and places meet, pulled there by the current of the winds and the rivers around it. In these troubled times a rest is necessary, a recharge mandatory. Hiding under the shadows of milenary araucarias, it's bases and roots planted on the same ground as volcanoes gather their own energy from, inside the magic cabin wild animals sit, absorbing the energy of this numinous land and transforming it into something tangible : Music, to be taken out of the woods.

Neuquen Power is born from a series of happenstances, the unexpected encounters of musicians coming from very different backgrounds and meeting in one enchanted place.

"Sakoneta" is the new single from multi-instrumentalist Jean Dasso, better known as Yeahman. "Sakoneta" is an evocative and transporting fusion of the folk and electronic influences that define Yeahman's signature downtempo sound. A fluttering of guitars and spacey synthesizers drift and coalesce into a ruminative and soothing sonic journey. Ultimately, "Sakoneta" provides comforting warmth and pause for reflection as the end of a chaotic year draws near.

Yeahman promotes the breaking down of barriers in electronic and world music. His live sets combine his own productions and various fine selections, drawing influence from every continent with global bass-downtempo stylings providing a common denominator.

Powered by the international success of his single "Miniyamba" (Shika Shika, 2019), his career is now taking him to another level. In Spring 2017 on Brazilian avant-garde label Frente Bolivarista he released "Transborda”. His first self-produced EP, “Transborda” was a mission statement that deployed traditional folk influences and his own vision of dreamy and powerful electronic music. Here he shaped his identity, based on ethnical and popular music, studded with new tropical sounds, and pierced by intense electronic vibrations.

Apart from his lifestyle as an artist, Yeahman is also a cultural activist in his hometown of Toulouse, France. He founded and now curates the "Ghetto Sonido" events, associating live bands and DJ sets. He also programs the World Music Festival "Rio Loco", and is involved in several humanitarian initiatives, against climate change (Extinction Rebellion, Earth Night) and human rights (Autonomie) among others.
