Pierre-fanfan, Korinn
Rever
Confidential for a long time, Körinn Pierre-Fanfan is out in the open now. Trained at ATLA school and Richard Cross's,
she for a while roamed musical scenes as a backing vocalist for Brigitte, As Animals, Tony Allen, Youssoupha, Seun Kuti,
and Nicoletta. Then the time had come for more personal projects where Körinn teamed with major players of the
ultramarine music scene : Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Blick Bassy, Jonathan Jurion, Stéphane Castry, Frantz Laurac, Lionel
Agénor ou Ralph Lavital. But it's the meeting with the pianist Rudy Boa that led her to become the accomplished artist
she is now. In November 2019 her first album Traversée is released, a poetical introspection of her native Guadeloupe.
The title also alludes to the Traversée road, the tropical forest protected in Guadeloupe. Between pop, soul, 490 and
world music, Traversée discusses the importance of interpersonal relationship, a recurrent theme within the artist's
world. The new album Rêver, whose title is a palindrome, in keeping with her first album, is an encounter with numerous
cultures, as 490 and pop, creating new musical variations that bring joy and delight. Carried along by Ruddy Boa
arrangements, the artiste finds her inspiration in her native island, Guadeloupe. Sharing, rhizome-like, Caribbean area
to the universal. Art-therapist in parallel to her singing career, Körinn Pierre-Fanfan conceives the music-making
process as an action that may cure. To live one's part of humanity, to welcome fraternity, to write kindly a poetic
self-narrative, to extract oneself from the sometimes burdensome reality of life, that is the adventure in which Körinn
invites us. Skilled to put words on our complex emotions, Körinn Pierre-Fanfan explores a new way of expression mixing
creole and french. With a unique melodic sense and tone of voice, the artist leaves her artistic mark on each track. As
a whole, the album has a potent note of undeniable originality and self-affirmation. "Körinn Pierre-Fanfan is the firm
demonstration, if needed, of the dimension of our Creolness, which ignores borders, transcends our identities, makes our
personality thrives wherever some form of culture gather those who recognize themselves as Creoles. Körinn Pierre-Fanfan
is definitively unclassifiable." (Tous Créoles magazine)
