FABRIANO FUZION などフレンチ・カリビアンの好音源を復刻するレーベル BEAUMONDE の新作は、1990年にリリースされたズーク・フュージョンの名盤をリイシュー!ミニマルでスピリチュアルなマルチニークの音楽「ベレ」に、ジャズをはじめとするモダンな音楽の要素―ハーモニーやアレンジを加えた先駆的なアルバムとしてヨーロッパをはじめとするDJに非常に人気の高い一枚。オリジナルは200USD以上で取引されている。Repress from this lovely Fusion/Zouk album from 1990! Lovely crafted tip-on sleeve. Remastered. 700 copies. Minimalist and spiritual, a true rural ancestral art from Martinique, the Bèlè combines dance and music from responsorial monodies, on codified drum rhythms and ti-bwa working up into the trance. The texts are simple, short and tell the story of everyday life and struggle. While preserving the emotion and the drum’s central place, the fundamental contribution of Bèlènou is to keep the traditional form of Bèlè while adding a modern instrumentation: bass, guitar, saxophone, drums...Emosyon Tambou-a (Emotion of the Drum) was released in 1990. This third opus of the band expands the musical spectrum in harmonies, arrangements and influences to create a contemporary music anchored in the Bèlè matrix, while keeping the beat, the energy and ancestral roots of music.A precursor group, experimental in the its early years, Bèlènou reconciles with talent tradition, modernity and cultural identity.

完全限定盤! 復刻の進む 「初期電子音楽 meets フレンチ・カリビアン」 の最高峰! セルジュ・ファブリアーノの激レア盤がついについにリイシュー!フレンチ・カリビアンものの激レア&DJフレンドリーなアイテムを復刻するフランスのリイシュー系新興レーベル BEAUMONDE RECORDS から早くも新作。 カリブ海はグアドループの音楽家 セルジュ・ファビリアーノ による唯一のリーダー作 『DIGITAL CARESSE - DEMAIN』 が、この度ついにリイシューです! パリの大学にて電子音楽を専攻したというセルジュが、シンセ音を基調としたクアドループ産カリビアン・ジャズを作り上げたというのが、1986年の本作。当時はなかなか受け入れられなかったであろう前衛的ともいえる内容だが、バレアリック、シンセウェーヴ再興著しい 2018年 にはドンピシャ。チープでいなたいリズムボックスの音色 / パターンと相反する、シンセやマリンバ、リコーダーなどの上モノが奏でる時にスカスカ、時にナイーヴに重なり合う音のレイヤーは極上の一言です!HEAVENLY SWEETNESS レーベル諸作を例に出すまでもなく、フレンチ・カリビアンのトレンドは完全に80'S以降になった感がありますが、本作はさらにその先まで進んだ感があります。昨今の南米系フォルクーレやバレアリック、シンセウェーヴ、ニューエイジ再評価の流れとして聴いてもよし、ブルース・ハークなどの電子音楽の未来を切り開いた偉大な音楽家にならぶべき作品として聴くもよしの発掘です! キース・へリングにインスパイアされたという、かわいくこじゃれたジャケットも素晴らしい。It was the mid 80s. A musical revolution was already steamrolling throughout the French West Indies when the band Kassav’ produced what was to become the sound of the decade. With a now wider use of synthetic and digital tones, the "zouk" wave literally swept away to sea the biguine and cadence from the West Indian musical landscape.While this took place, some musicians chose to make an alternative use of the new techniques brought on by the advent of synthesizers. Musicians like Serge Fabriano.It was back in 1980 that Serge, a talented young musician from Guadeloupe, while studying for a degree in “Arts & Informatique” (Computers & Arts Cycle) at the Université De Vincennes near Paris, discovered early computer-generated digital music (MAO in French) thanks to his roommates, who both taught computer-generated graphic arts.In 1982 Fabriano and his Fabriano Unité Zion project recorded, with the help of Alain-Jean Marie, Mario Canonge and Pierre Labor, Cosmik Syndika*, which to this day remains a masterpiece of made-in-Guadeloupe Caribbean jazz.The following years saw him tour the US and Canada as well as several other countries. By 1986 he was back in Guadeloupe, teaching music in the secondary schools of Point-à-Pître and Sainte-Rose. While doing this, his ongoing passion for the budding MAO led him to kit himself out: the Yamaha CX5M (MSX Music Computer), the Macintosh Plus, the legendary synthesizers DX7 and DX11 and several other early rhythm machines became his new toys.Him and his partner at the time, Marie-Reine Lamoureux, who was also both a teacher and a musician, as well as a member of the Fabriano Fuzion project, decided to involve their pupils in his electronic musical experimentations. They recorded an album, composed of five tracks deliberately titled Demain, under the name “Digital Caresse” (the idea behind this was that instead of hitting the percussions to make music, one stroked the computer keyboard to coax a sound). The combination of the children’s choir, enchanting wonky flutes, saturated electronic beat and cosmic atmosphere perfectly outline the purity of this rough diamond.Thirty-two years after its confidential release, Digital Caresse is still a testimony to tenderness in binary mode and has become a myth among the aficionados of electronic music.

One of the greatest to emerge from the French West Indies.. Listen to Kosmos I/II and you'll know why..."I used to live in rue de Clignancourt, and remember as a kid going to the 14th of July West Indian ball organized by my father rue André Del Sartre in Montmartre every year. There I would meet, among others, saxophonist Robert Mavounzy. Sticking to the area, my older brother had a band and often played at the famous venue La Cigale, where even Henri Salvador joined him for a jam from time to time."Since childhood Serge Fabriano bathed in music, to-ing and fro-ing between his native Guadeloupe and Paris where he grew up. He attended the music conservatory, learnt how to play bass, met and played with many musicians and was ultimately angling for a career as a music teacher. But Serge had wanderlust; he lived to meet new people and was passionate about travel.Thus, it was in a squat located rue de Flandres in the 19th district of Paris that Serge Fabriano met by chance zarb player Djamchid Chemirami, one of Iran’s greatest percussionists, who invited him to the Arts Festival of Shiraz-Persepolis. After a month-long motorcycle journey, he and his guitar teacher, Roger Bénichou, arrived in Tehran. Sadly their guitars didn’t survive the journey. It was there that he met, among others, Woody Shaw, Max Roach and his wife Abbey Lincoln. Serge also formed a friendship with saxophonist Gary Bartz and stayed on a month playing with the cream of the musicians who’d attended to the Festival.During the mid-70's, he alternated between teaching classes and live gigs, and performed in Germany with a funk band comprised of ex-GIs from the US Army. He also met the members of Chick Corea's group, Return to Forever, and especially Stanley Clarke who became a great source of inspiration to him.From 1978 onwards, Serge Fabriano put aside teaching and devoted more time to music. He became a musician’s musician, doing studio recordings with rock bands. He also played with members of the Caribbean diaspora, which included the great drummer Marcel Lollia (known as Velo), Patrick Jean-Marie, Guy Conquette, Winston Berkley, Mino Cinelu.During the "Ayatollah Comédie" musical comedy tour organized by the Journal Liberation, Serge met actor Pierre Clémenti (Il Gattopardo, Belle De Jour, The Conformist). This was a game-changer : "I was trying to record my first record. Clémenti suggested the Studio Beaubourg in Paris. "The group Fabriano Fuzion - Fabriano Unit Zion - was born.The band brought together some of the Caribbean’s most inspired musicians: Martinican-born Mario Canonge on the piano (his first appearance on an album), Alain-Jean Marie on the synthesizer, Edouard and Pierre Labor on saxophones, Claude Vamur (Kassav ') on the drums, singer/percussionists Marie-Reine Lamoureux and Marie-Céline Lafontaine, percussionists Roger Raspail, Sully Cally and Hector Ficadière (Tumblack, Vent Levé) on Ka percussions.It is precisely the Gwo Ka - this ancestral “root” music deeply embedded in the heart of the Guadeloupe musician - which constitutes the rhythmic backbone of this first opus. The Gwo Ka, the jazz, the poetry and the spiritual vibe are gathered here to form a splendid album; one of the true masterpieces to emerge from the French West Indies. Rarely will a band have borne its name so well than Fabriano Fuzion - its music is a multiple and collective work in which each element brings its identity and its richness, conferring to this major work a truly fusional dimension.
