Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon flag icon
Julien Phileas real name, Granmoun Lele Reunion is a singer born February 28, 1930 in Saint-Benoît and died on 14 November 2004.

Teenager, he worked as a laborer and die in a sugar factory. After his work week, Gramoun Lele singing in Kabars these premises in which the Malagasy heritage, men and women gather to dance to the traditional instruments of the island. In these Kabars, it also plays the Maloya, this music inherited from enslaved ancestors who for Africa brought their drums and their mystical rhythms.

Initiated very young Tamil rites by her father, and the Malagasy ceremonies by his mother, Lele Gramoun keeps in his Maloya a spiritual dimension. It is inspired by dreams, experiences and the nature that surrounds it. But it is within the family that the artist actually cultivated his musical roots. In recent years, among the twelve musicians who accompanied her unique voice, seven of them were children.

The Granmoun word that appears in his nickname is a term of Reunion Creole designating the elderly.
