The music of Grèn Sémé is impossible to define in a single word. The term “maloya” is not sufficient. You need to add a cross-genre fantasy, to speak of “maloya something”, to explain all the groove, the wide-angle tropicalism, the variety of themes and languages that are merged into this song fusion. Grèn Sémé is also the ethical-poetic world of this cultured boy with a warm voice. Unguarded poetry, often in creole, sometimes in French, a search for meaning and openness, cheerful humanity, Grèn Sémé carves his mischievous path in his songs, with a mixture of lucidity and rejection of gloom, with an artfully-cultivated roguish joy.

With Carlo De Sacco: voice, kayanm borb, drums; Bruno Cadet: guitars, chorus; Mickaël Beaulieu: piano, keyboards, chorus; Jean-Philippe Georgopoulos: bass, chorus; Jérôme Calciné: percussion.
