Info for Éko

A resolutely Caribbean and mixed evening, reflecting Fabienne Reine's music, blending jazz, soul, funk, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms.

Drawing from her Caribbean roots and her love of jazz, soul, funk, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Fabienne Reine crafts a mixed, vibrant, and sincere music that resonates naturally in the midst of the May Caribbean Festival. Through this melodious journey, the singer takes us on a journey with the sweetness of jazz, the syncopation of funk, the effervescence of gospel, the tenderness of biguine, and the rhythm of zouk.

Following the recent release of her album "Éko," she offers us an intimate and acoustic version, revealing the very essence of her compositions. A suspended moment where each note resonates like a fragment of history, each melody like an echo of her plural identity. Fabienne Reine is a multifaceted artist of Guadeloupean origin: dancer, choreographer, singer, author, and composer. She has pursued her projects without abandoning one of her passions for another. She has distinguished herself for several years in contemporary dance companies and musicals (La Rue Zabym, The Lion King, etc.). A stage and studio singer, she has accompanied numerous Caribbean artists (Jean-Claude Naimro, Patrick St. Eloi, Jocelyne Béroard, Tanya St. Val, Jeff Joseph, Dominique Coco, etc.) and African artists (Josey, Papa Wamba, Almok, Sissy Mananga, Mj30, etc.).

While visiting Paris in 2005 with the troupe of the musical "La Rue Zabym," she decided to pursue her career there with even greater fervor and nourish herself with new artistic encounters. In 2009, she created "Sa ki andidan'S," a choreographic piece for the Paris Outre-Mer Festival. The creation blends jazz, contemporary, and Gwo-ka, both in gesture and music.

She also performs as a lead singer in various ensembles: the biguine-jazz quintet "Tikafé," the Creole-funk orchestra "Zandoly," and the vocal trio "Kérédam." Drawing on all her experience, Fabienne Reine released her first single, "Dako," in late 2018, produced with the help of bassist Eric Delblond.

Fabienne Reine
singer-songwriter, composer, and artist from Guadeloupe has more than one string to her bow. She discovered a strong artistic flair early on, which she first developed on the dance floor. She began her artistic career as a dancer and choreographer. She performed for several years in contemporary companies and musicals (La rue Zabym, The Lion King).

With a degree in jazz technique, she also enjoyed teaching her passion for dance. A writer and composer, she has written for artists including Dissonance (Qui je Suis) in 2003, Nomads (100 Lieux D'Histoires), and the vocal trio Kerédam. At the same time, she performed in live ensembles as a singer and backing vocalist, gaining solid experience on the music scene. She has accompanied numerous Caribbean artists (J-Claude Naimro, Patrick St Eloi, Jocelyne Beroard, Tanya St Val, Jeff Joseph, Dominique Coco, etc.) and African artists (Josey, Papa Wemba, Almok, Sissy Mananga, Mj30, etc.).

Benefiting from all her experiences, she released her first single in October 2018: "Dako." This first opus is taken from her upcoming album, Mélange de sonorités, which draws on all her influences. An album that aims to be a melodious journey through the sweetness of jazz, the syncopation of funk, the groove of soul, the effervescence of gospel, the tenderness of biguine, and the rhythm of Zouk. The track "Dako," with its biguine-jazz sound, Creole lyrics, and contemporary themes, is a decidedly feminine track. It highlights his jazzy-soul vocal timbre and underlines the close and beautiful collaboration with bassist and composer Eric Delblond, who, with his legendary groove and sensitivity, has left his fine mark.

This album contains no booklet.
