THE LABEL : SYMBOLE RECORDS 

 » SYMBOLE is born from magical alignements and resonances. The story started in Guadeloupe (FWI) by the meeting of the DJ & digger Mambo Chick with the great pianist Patrick Jean-Marie while making her research in Guadeloupe.

For us, recordings are as Piece of Art and historical witness and we though our release in an esthetic & historical dimension, the file was treated as a historical documenta special care for archives (faithfully restored), as Art-Objects (hand-made LP cover by artist).

SYMBOLE celebrates Music and Musical Heritage, not as a nostalgic attachment to the past, but to respect History and the collective memory, to connect souls beyond time.

The symbol always refers to a broader content, than its immediate and obvious meaning.

Originally, (σ υ μ-β α λ-λ ε ι ν), a symbol is an object cut in half so that, following a quest, the parts reunited allow to recognize each other.

Connecting souls beyond time

“Love is always finding a way”

SYMBOLE RECORDS PAR MAMBO CHICK
Mambo Chick est une DJ et une collectionneuse mais aussi la fondatrice du label SYMBOLE, lancé en 2023 qui commence très fort avec 2 premières sorties dont un enregistrement inédit de 1982!
Le label est née de sa rencontre avec le pianiste de génie Patrick Jean-Marie en 2022, en Guadeloupe, lors de ses investigations menées sur la Culture et l’Histoire. Mambo Chick décide de travailler à la reconnaissance artistique de cet artiste presque oublié, monument de la musique guadeloupéenne et icône de la « vague free » des années 70s. Elle pense ses sorties entre documents historique et objets d’arts, et propose par exemple, pour l’edition du vinyle d’Atika Live, un espace d »expression à la  jeune plasticienne guadeloupéene Anaïs Verspan dans la réalisation de la pochette, edition limité qu’elle fera sérigraphier à la main, avec en prime une édition Blue Collector.
SYMBOLE est un label de musique indépendant, qui vient combler les vides de l’Histoire par la mise en lumière d’enregistrements oubliés et redonnant la dimension d’objet d’art au vinyl.  Symbole est née pour faire rayonner l’Amour et la Beauté.
