Two years after “Univers-ille”, Labelle is back with a new project which is a daring realisation of a dream at that : the creation of his own orchestra, the Orchestre Univers.

With the help of the Orchestre National de la Reunion, the producer opens a new chapter in the merging of classical, pop music, and the heritage of Europe and the Indian Ocean. This third album, composed especially for the Orchestre Univers, was recorded live over the course of four concerts, performed all around La Reunion, in the island’s most beautiful concert halls.

A sequence of breathless trancelike moments, post-Maloya and technological experiments, the album floats between tradition and modernity, like a sonic odyssey that is only the beginning of an ongoing saga...

Maloya electronics of Labelle lives at first as an experience, an accelerator of imagination. Either sung or either declaimed, in the tradition of fonnkèrs from Réunion Island, rhythmical, electronic or more experimental, he is constantly surprising by his capacity to pull atmospheres and by the introspection which he generates.

Resolutely syncretic, the universe of Labelle unites Maloya (from Réunion traditional music) and electronics, coloured with Indian and African touches, to give birth to a new shape flirting with the universality.
