Rababoo is proud to present his second release with the Fribourg-based Horizon Liquide band on board! This release marks a seminal point in Horizon Liquide's travel so far. Having been dispersed, modulated, and then re-assembled, this tape represents the sound of coming together, and of breathing new life into a seamlessly confused environment. Struggles from the Middle East clashed with misadventures in Europe, and a worldwide crisis topped it all off; the borders that the band has always aimed to blur were still far from being unnoticed...

The second EP since the release of "Fall" in 2019, "3arus 3arin" (ʕarūs ʕarīn, meaning 'bride den', referring to one of the member's places of birth) is a perfectly curated melting pot, where each member -- along with Latin-groove percussionist Valentin Montmollin (of Saraka) -- was able to put his own identity and practice at play; from the culture-defying haunting voices of Laure Betris and the sharp-but-smooth electronic work of Valentin Savio, to the oriental drive of Serge Ghazale's plucking (both of Horse, I'm Virus and Bruit Rose).

Here, Horizon Liquide re-affirms its multicultural aspect through multilingualism, notably in the opening speech of "Fleur de Sel", leading you through the trials and tribulations yet to...  more

For the 3rd physical release of Rababoo Records, the Fribourg music-based label (curated by OneFootStep & Oase) is thrilled to welcome Mati Traxx (straight from Geneva, originally from Grolley) for his album debut on tape! He presents us with a full electronic dub series in celebration of the rhythms of the pastures. The album starts with an introduction to an old mountain tradition with cows. Then it continues and brings you on to the foggy mornings of the mystical forests of the Intyamon region and ends its journey with cheerful cafés-noirs in la Basse-Ville. Beyond the images, this album is an ode to a region whose name is simply called: Fribourg. So, hop onto Mati Traxx universe bringing his own definition of mystical sounds.

01 L'intro du ranz

“Fribourg, Switzerland. Back in the old days, in the historical center, everyone used to heat with wood. According to urban legend, the Rababou (from the Fribourg patois “rababouêt”) was a wood thief. But there was very little firewood in the area. The legend tells that the Rababou went to steal wood from the forests of the Gottéron Valley, which belonged to the rich of the high society. 

Rababoo is inspired by the creature that represents all vices and bad habits of the town. Every year at Carnival, we put him on trial and burn him at stake to celebrate the end of winter and request a rich summer (as long as seasons still exist). Rababoo is about the tradition to celebrate, it is a ritual to reflect the good and the bad. Rababoo is about an acceptance of all kinds of musical backgrounds driven by the same passion for music sharing. Rababoo accelerates the collapse for a better rebuilding."
