about

INSULA • noun • /ˌɪn.sjəˈlæ/
 Latin term meaning island.

An avatar that uses Indo-Oceanic rituals to bring different periods together as well as the rhythms of the north of the world to promote a Maloya-Afro-Futurist concept.

Through this pseudonym, Mickael Gravina takes his musical and sonic origins and uses them as an island (a starter, a nucleus) connected to the cosmos for our next release on Babani Records.

Concocted on the Red Island, we bring you the first two tracks "BONDIÉ MALOUBARY" and "KABARY", leading to his debut album "TRMBA" in December. The first one relating to a god from Madagascar and the latter to a ceremony.

INSULA, a multidisciplinary artist from Reunion Island, is interested in electronic music, or more specifically, in the "concrete music" that defines the sounds. This radically impresses itself on the listener. He comes face to face with a monster that lives by its own rules and norms, without making any concessions. Music is fascinating and it is capable of carrying within it a relationship to the world, something otherwise unspeakable.

His attempt at creating music is a kind of monster that, in truth, speaks to the globalised times we live in, a fusion of traditional and contemporary elements set to electronic and maloya music. It goes without saying that the mythology of the Indo-Oceanic, Malagasy, African, and many others nourish his creative production using a variety of instruments (Mauritians, Reunionese, Indians, Malagasy, and Creoles).

INSULA, this island where genders, races and cultures converge.
