Mareva Galanter

french electro-pop // yé-yé

A former model expanding her work into music or cinema is not surprising. However, it is rare and surprising when she does it so good, and does it in such a fun way. With her debut album Ukuyéyé (2006), Mareva Galanter, once Miss Tahiti and Miss France, delivers a collection of mostly catchy pop-rock songs from the 60’s. Her coquettish charm and ukulele manage to give it fresh sound and a lovely feeling to it.

Delightful interpretation of the classic.

    I could probably post if it was a paid gig, I find alot of good music by reading other sites. I dunno if it would always be artists nobody ever heard about becuase I’m constantly finding artists I like that actually have a large fan base. But yeah I blog http://www.nickcast.tv. Anyways love this site and the tunes. My email is Nicka102@gmail.com.
