Biography

2023 Mareva invited the “dandiest” of Englishmen, Robbie Williams, to guest on a song worthy of the most beautiful musicals. On it, Robbie tries out a few phrases in French, right in the heart of Paris. He fell under the spell of this timeless ballad, where the serendipity of encounters gives way to the spontaneity of relationships. They take us along on their journey through a beloved Paris, where strolling aimlessly is elevated to an art Album “Paris-Tahiti” Out May 26th With this latest album, Mareva Galanter takes us on a trip through her Tahitian origins, prompting a meeting between the Parisian she has become and the Polynesian she never stopped being, invoking her home region’s vibrant sounds: percussions, intergenerational choirs, ancestral nose flute... Traditional sounds, so dear to Mareva, that are here highlighted in their most authentic form. Through its 11 tracks, “Paris – Tahiti” is the artist’s most personal full-length outing. A musical odyssey recorded in Paris and Tahiti, the album subtly blends traditional sounds with French pop, the modernity of the production espousing the immortality of tradition. This curiously beguiling album is a fresh new meeting of the cultures: the guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals were recorded in Paris while the ukuleles, percussion, drums, nose flute and traditional choirs were recorded in Tahiti using wood and bamboo instruments entirely handmade by the musicians themselves.
