{"product_id":"stephane-hoareau_ritual-riots-vinyle-180-gr_2026_mdl","title":"Ritual Riots - Vinyle 180 Gr","description":"With Ritual Riots, Stéphane Hoareau delivers an album deeply rooted in creolité, conceived as a force of unity, resistance, and transmission. A guitarist from Réunion recognized for his role in the emergence of new world music, he continues here his commitment to reviving Réunionese maloya, which he transforms with boldness and creativity to make it a living, open, and contemporary heritage. Through his collective projects and his radical approach to musical ritual, he develops an aesthetic where trance becomes a universal language. In his career, he has explored multiple territories, from his electric reinterpretation of maloya with Trans Kabar to his jazz and collective improvisation projects, always with the same concern: to transmit and reinvent a living heritage. A thinker of the collective as much as an architect of sound, Stéphane Hoareau conceives Ritual Riots as a musical adventure without hierarchy, where each musician is both interpreter and actor of the ritual. On guitar, backing vocals, and direction, he surrounds himself with an ensemble whose strength rests on listening, trance, and shared energy. The percussion and voices of David Doris and Claude Saturne, both deeply rooted in Creole traditions, organic and ritual. The double bass of Théo Girard, a major figure in the jazz and improvised music scene, and the drums of David Aknin, both precise and incantatory, infuse a constant movement between pulse, groove, and freedom. The musical trajectory of the album is enriched by a strong spiritual dimension, nourished by the encounter with Haitian vodou. The correspondences between Réunionese and Haitian rites reveal the power of trance music as vectors of memory, transformation, and cultural resistance. These rituals, passed down from generation to generation, embody true \"cultural riots,\" guarantors of the survival of Creole languages and identities. Carried by a gentle Creole trance, Ritual Riots unfolds a form of slow, patient, and steady resistance. Here, nothing is frontal or brutal: power arises from repetition, listening, and the long duration. The rhythms advance with constancy, the voices envelop, and the music acts as an underground force. This gentleness is a strategy: that of a rooted and determined resistance, which inscribes itself in duration and affirms that slowness can be a political and spiritual act. Produced by Hugo Cechosz at Studio Kapules in Montreuil, Ritual Riots finds a sonic setting worthy of its collective ambition. The production work highlights the organic dimension of the percussion, the choral force of the voices, and the ritual intensity of the whole, leaving full space for the trance and vibration of the group. Fusing maloya, Haitian vodou, rock, and jazz, Ritual Riots establishes itself as a celebration of living together and a musical manifesto where each note acts as an invocation.","brand":"Stéphane Hoareau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57040393568600,"sku":null,"price":20260529.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3700604785910.jpg?v=1775682407","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/stephane-hoareau_ritual-riots-vinyle-180-gr_2026_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
