Tous nos sens sont en éveil... c'est vrai que nous avons de la chance de répéter, quand, dans les airs voguent les parfums de la cuisine de Marie-Ange et de Linda!

Here we go!!!

Depuis hier, les musiciens du groupe de musique vivent aux rythmes d'Eole! Les enregistrements "live" de notre septième album ont débuté tard dans la soirée hier. Notre ingénieur de son, Filou, s'est révélé être un météorologue hors pair..."guet sa, pena nyaz dan lesyel, divan pou tonbe dan 30 minit". Effectivement, vers 20h30, nous avons commencé les mises en place mais le vent était toujours trop gênant et nous avons terminé la répétition vers 23hr.

So, dear friends, since this morning everybody is scrutinizing the sky in search for a more clement night... Live recording outside has this inconvenient.

Zordi 8er aswar nou pe dine an atandan labriz tonbe. Pa pe gayn letan atann deser dizere, pe chek dekoupaz sak sante ki pou anrezistre aswar...

Filou pa pe tini anplas, pe avoy latet deor tou le 5 minit. Alain pe koz lor seting bann santer. Marousia pe azout so lagrin disel dan seting!

Finn ariv 10er. Sirman nou pa pou anrezistre aswar...divan pe donn bal!

Bonswar zot tou!

Filou a Moris

Ca y est, il est arrivé… Encore un peu et je vous dirai Zorro est arrivé ! De la Belgique, Philippe de Magnée, plus connu sous le sobriquet de Filou va mettre tout en oeuvre pendant ces trois prochaines semaines pour un enregistrement fabuleux… en live & direct, siouple. On n’a pas de souci à se faire.

Next year, Filou, an acclaimed sound engineer, will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of his love story with Mauritius and its music, the sega , on which he can talk for hours… We are so lucky to have him record this 7th album of Group Abaim … with around 30 singers and musicians, 33 songs, … not much of an easy task.

Anba lalinn ek zetwal, apartir Vandredi nou pou donn lavwa, ravann pou sofe..

An atandan, enjoy lanbyans dan sant Abaim yeroswar. Dan fon, a kote Gilbert - Prezidan Abaim, Steve Dubois - fotograf, pe apresye partaz.

Nou Patrimwann Vivan

Konsyan ki nou ena enn Patrimwann vivan e ki bizin partaz sa risess la.















Lidantite dimounn ek lidantite enn nasyon pa konstrir zis a traver bann moniman istorik oubyen bann sit.
Me osi atraver seki l'Unesco appel Patrimwann vivan oubyen Leritaz Imateryel.
Sa leritaz la inklir ant-ot:
Tradisyon ek Expresyon oral
Konesans lanatir ek liniver
Savwar-fer dan domenn lartizana

Koumsamem nou langaz maternel,
nou zistwar,
nou lamizik, nou ladans
ek lezot form lar,
nou koutim ek rit
ansom, tou seki nou transmet depi enn zenerasyon a enn lot,
san forse,
parfwa san mem reflesi, natirelman,
samem ki refle nou lespri, nou tradisyon, nou risess.

An mem-tan sa la risess-la li byen frazil...
boukou pli a risk ki leritaz materyel.
Nou ena pou sovgard li.

Gro travay ki Grup Abaim pe fer depi inpe... boukou letan !

Partaze...


Gro Mersi a Steve Dubois pou foto
an prezans so lot kamarad fotograf Jerry Layduhur.

Party Time

Maman !!!... dyab la monte...

Not that we are particularly fond of "bals, carnavals" and other "festivals"..
but we thought.... Aaaarrrrrgghhhh, it's the end of the school holidays and we have not been able to enjoy at least a small picnic 'cause we do not have enough bucks...
What can be done then ?
Why not make a mix of all, topping with a zest of "bal masqué" ...
Put in a shaker called "Saturday Care of Abaim" plus a little "gajak & drink" that each will bring to share...
and see for yourself the end results...
...Devinez..., devinez... qui je suis ?
Adults also taking time to play... Pot- Pouri of Columbo/Michael Jackson/Inspecteur Gadjet - The Pirate's Wives - The Gentleman and the Vagabond.....
Euhhhhh ... Speedy Gonzalez et Jasmine dan ABAIM ?
Sega time !
Bann Kwizinye dan lavayb - miam miam - pitza la ti extra bon !
La princesse Tanya et L'agent secret Julie encadre L'infirmiere Elodie.
Le trio infernal... oops... pardon! International - Eric, Aurelie et Esthel.
Nou kwizinye pa pe kapav tini e pe met lafaya !
Fairy Ketty - also the master of ceremony - carrying her magical wand...

For many of the little girls & guys , it was their "1st night out". Parents were a bit anxious as they left their children at 18h00 on the dance floor... They were back at 21h45 and were then all smiles at seeing the happiness on the little and bigger faces! ... Sadly the music had to stop at 22h00.
It has been a magic night... last Saturday, ... bit like Cinderella's tale...
