SĖLĒNĘ

In the realm of rebellious music, Sėlēnę reigns over powerful and psychedelic, electric, dreamlike, and surreal worlds. Sėlēnę is a blend of character(s). Forged on Réunion Island. Mélanie Badal, a…

[Na]

[Na]: a chemical element of enthusiastic disobedience. This is found in the punctuated piano strokes of Monk or the Afro-Dutch distortion of The Ex and Getatchew Mekurya. The Chicago School,…

Vincent Peirani, the Sun King of the accordion, has found his heir here: from now on, he will no longer be alone in spreading happiness by making his fingers dance on the pearly keys of his thrill box. Thank you Vincent, welcome Noé.
