Much more than a radiant electro-pop music infused with Japanese culture, FANEL refuses to choose between her western indie pop background and her love for Japanese traditional music and culture.
This perpetual dialogue, this syncretism between extreme technology and traditions, FANEL injects it in her music by the fusion of organic traditional instruments (from Asia and Europe) and electronic textures, creating unique soundscapes.
She makes light of the languages, their rhythms and tones by singing in English, Japanese and sometimes in French.
Her song Mén from her debut album Human recently featured in the MARVEL animated series HIT MONKEY.
After 2 EPs, an album released in Nov 2019, over hundred concerts in France, Japan and the UK, FANEL decided to build a new show with the Spanish photographer Joan Tomas called THE THIN PLACE. An immersive video-mapping live show celebrating their attachment to Okinawa and their perspective as European artists ; a place where two worlds meet.
She released in January 2025 a new EP THE THIN PLACE, including two tracks recorded and produced with the participation of Leo Abrahams, a London-based artist and producer working with the brilliant Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins, and Regina Spektor among others…
Solo on stage since 2023, FANEL offers a dancy and epic electronica vibe. A One-woman-band that moves your feet and gets your spirit on a trip.
