For SessionLab, Hortense Volle met Bonbon Vodou at their home in Sète.
Portrait of a tandem of lovers formed by Oriane Lacaille and JereM Boucris whose sweet trance, in French and Reunionese Creole, melts in the heart.
A deliciously tangy podcast to listen to with headphones (3D audio).

It's now been seven years since these two put their voices in tune.
He is JereM Boucris: a fan of "
African pulse
" with a "
white ass groove
" (it's not me who says it, it's him);
a mischievous singer who plays a guitar with the body of an oil can.
His beauty is Oriane Lacaille: a singer with a clear, soft and powerful voice who is also a unique drum percussionist.
Four years after their 1st album,
African Discount
, the duo Bonbon Vodou delivered a new collection of bittersweet ballads at the start of the 2021 school year.
13 titles in French and Reunionese Creole which, to the rhythm of maloya and séga, invite us to take the path to the cemetery... A
Creole Cemetery
is the name of this album, where it is fashionable to put "
a foot in the grave and (to) dance on the other
".
To better enter the sweet trance of this tandem of lovers, I invited myself to their home, in Sète, a port city in the south of France.
I landed at coffee time, in the January sun.
The result: a conversation in complete privacy and in 3D audio.
A podcast to listen to with headphones.
