Biography: "Kréolokoz" means the one who speaks
Creole. In this word, one can
also understand « the Creole cause ». The values of the Kréolokoz band are
meant in this neologism. Earth values for a celestial flight where the human
being finds its place. This band could let French and English languages have
precedence, but they chose to write their lyrics in Creole from the Réunion Island, to enlighten the beauty
and the subtleties of this language, to increase the standing of this culture,
a culture overwhelmed by colonial contempt.
Carrying
a strong and original concept, based on Creole, Kréolokoz carries a universal
concept where the human being can recognize itself. Kréolokoz, it's a band of
musicians who have been playing together for 8 years, in aother bands, and who
met and gathered in Kréolokoz, three years ago, to play the notes and rhythms
the composition work of Gaël Velleyen. Fine lyrics and attracting melodies
are the basis on which the musicians draw great music atmospheres, mixing
influences coming from Africa, India, Madagascar
and the rest of the world!!
Each composition has its
own universe; Kréolokoz brings us to fields of sugar cane, seaside, sand plains
or brown paths. Let's bet that Kréolokoz will impose itself as the spearhead of
music from the Réunion
Island.
