babani
a flag for kreol music: four inks that multiply down to a single black, #010c01. one colour made of all of them, the way the music is.
it belongs to anyone who plays this music. take it, print it, fly it.
an unexpected seduction — an instinctive call impossible to resist. babani is the state of trance reached during a ceremony invoking the ancestors' spirits: the rhythms of the indian ocean, carried by the ravann, restored and reissued — music, images, art and tales from the past, brought back into the room.

babani was initiated by avneesh and blessed by menwar — for the transmission of tradition, art and culture.
master of the ravann, creator of sagaï, one of the eldest living voices of sega — menwar is the godfather of babani. his blessing is the label's compass: the elders on the stage, on the record, in the room.
sega · seggae · sagaï · maloya · moutia · salegy — ternary rhythms, 6/8 and 12/8, afro-malagasy roots. the handshake from the indian ocean.
