Vinyl | Mareva Galanter "Paris-Tahiti"

«Paris - Tahiti», like a dream, is the result of the encounter and close friendship between Mareva Galanter and Helena Noguerra. Helena, like a fairy inspired by a dream life of an unknown paradise, Tahiti, listened to Mareva tell her about her "old life".

She offered her tailor-made songs. Enchanting, evocative, soft and poetic lyrics as if fallen from the stars. Philippe Eveno, musician and composer, produced the album and composed the music; fresh, elegant, pop and travel-inspired. Marc Collin, creator of numerous projects where cultures meet and playfully diverge with audacity, is the producer. With this new album, Mareva Galanter immerses us in her Tahitian origins. The album symbolizes the encounter of the Parisian she has become with the Tahitian she has never ceased to be. Polynesia, where she grew up, is full of vibrant sounds: percussion (Toe’re), intergenerational choirs (Himene), the ancestral nasal flute (Vivo), etc. These traditional sounds, dear to Mareva's heart, are showcased in their most authentic form.

Composed of 12 songs, « Paris - Tahiti » is Mareva Galanter's most personal album. Recorded in Paris and then in Tahiti, the traditional sounds are present and subtly mixed with a French pop sound. This album is first and foremost a musical exploration. The modernity of the production marries the immortality of traditions. Bursting with curiosity, this album is a cultural encounter never before achieved. Guitars, basses, drums, keyboards and vocals were recorded in Paris, at Alphaville studio by Hugo Bracchi. Ukuleles, percussion, drums, nasal flute and traditional choirs were recorded in Tahiti, at AMSP studio by Jean-Luc Casula, with wooden and bamboo instruments entirely handmade by the musicians themselves.
