Historique [1]
Rajna was founded in 1997 by Gerard Chambellant, Fabrice Lefebvre and Jeanne Lefebvre. Influenced by the flavors of Eastern culture, the band made three albums: "Ishati" (1999), "Yahili" (1999), The Heady Wine of Praise (2001). After the release of their third album, and the departure of Gerard Chambellant, the group officially became a duo and released "The Door of Serenity" in 2002 which was followed by "Hidden Temple" in February 2004. In 2005, Rajna became involved in a project close to its heart ... In partnership with the association "La Maison des Himalayas", all the royalties generated by sales of their album "Black Tears" anthology went to that association, in order to build a school for children of Nepal. In 2006 Rajna explored new horizons and new sounds to make the album "Otherwise". Following a meeting in summer 2005 with the Napolitan composer Francesco Banchini they undertook a collaborative project under the name Khvarena, which resulted in the album "The Spirit Rises", released in 2007.
In 2008, Rajna released the album "Duality" on the French label Holy Records. This album includes some tracks with the singer Tim Bowness from the band No-man (Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson).
In 2010, Rajna released "Offering", a more traditional album, less electronic than the previous. "Offering" is a journey throughout the Dodecanese and the Cyclades islands.
In 2011 Rajna made a cover of the track "End" from the band Black Tape of a Blue Girl (Founder of the US label Projekt/Sam Rosenthal)
In 2012, Rajna autoproduced their last album in date "Babel". It includes a cover version of the band sToa with the track Hanuz Nist (Olaf Parusel) and a cover from sToa of the track "Offering".
After that, Rajna stopped recording music because they felt less interest from its audience and also for familiar reasons. During that period, Fabrice Lefebvre got involved in another musical project and founded the Post Punk band Factice Factory (3 albums and a 7') with his son Théotime Lefebvre and singer François Ducarn.
Now in 2020, our friend Brice Amo from the band Omasphere proposed us to collaborate on a new track entitled "Turning World" and we took part with much joy to this project. This track has been recorded during the episode of confinement (Covid 19) Other tracks will come ... and maybe another Rajna album in preparation if passion is stronger than ever.
