Lacaille, Oriane
Iviv
In the Lacaille family, the accordionist Rene was one of the renewers of Reunionese music in the 1970s, with his accomplices Alain Peters and Danyel Waro. Oriane Lacaille, his daughter, who grew up in France but is steeped in the island's maloya and sega, is perpetuating this family tradition which, in the generations before hers, was forbidden to women. On iViV her first solo album, with the sweetness of nursery rhymes or the intensity of trance music, Oriane Lacaille sings about joy and about rage, assimilating her family heritage into her own affirmed personality, marking the blossoming of her Creole trajectory. For this collection of songs in Creole & French, she is accompanied by her stage companions Heloise Divilly (drums) and Yann-Lou Bertrand (double bass, trumpet, flute), but also by some inspiring guests: Piers Faccini, Leyla McCalla, Laura Cahen, Loy Ehrlich and her father accordionist Rene Lacaille.
