The female vocal duo LEÏ, composed of Laurène Barnel and Carine Habauzit, will unveil their
new album ‘Amarre’, which will be released on 13/02/2026 by Inouïes / InOuïe Distribution. The
album will be presented on Thursday 12 March 2026 at 8.30pm on stage at Le Consulat (Paris,
11th arrondissement) during an exceptional launch concert.
The first single, ‘Lo hadi aingürüa’, is available on all platforms since 30 January 2026!
Amarre is the song of free women who tenderly rock their children and their dreams. LEÏ‘s two
voices weave together music borrowed from the oral traditions of the Mediterranean. Through
this repertoire, LEÏ sings to nurture, in an intimate universe that is both gentle and incandescent.

Biographies
Laurène Barnel
A 2018 graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, Laurène Barnel is a multidisciplinary artist.
Since 2023, she has been developing her practice of oriental singing with Dorsaf Hamdani at the
International Institute of World Music. Laurène is also training in other vocal traditions, such as
Anatolian singing with Eléonore Fourniau, Iberian percussion with Grégory Duveau, and Corsican polyphony with Jean Philippe De Peretti. She is also the choir director and arranger for the semi-
professional group AMANEOS, which she co-founded in 2018.
In the field of visual arts, her approach revolves around collective creation, cartography and the
poeticisation of everyday life, mainly through video and photography. In 2022, she obtained a
diploma as an Artist Intervening in Schools (AIMS), sealing her commitment to passing on art.
Carine Habauzit
Since 2019, Carine has been training in various singing traditions: Occitan polyphonic singing with
Beatriz Lalanne, Corsican polyphonic singing with Muriel Chiaramonti, Mediterranean and
Andalusian songs and bendir playing with Catherine Braslavsky and Joseph Rowe, and Iberian
songs and percussion with Grégory Duveau. She is also interested in traditional Mongolian
singing with Johanni Curtet and is learning Kurdish daf with Shadi Fathi. She is studying Greek
and Asia Minor singing with Maria Simoglou.
From her experiences in yoga and meditation, she has retained an approach to the body, breath
and presence in her musical practice (training in yin yoga ‘of sound’ with Romulo Pelliza), as well
as an interest in improvisation. Her initial training in contemporary art (ENSBA Lyon) and cinema
fuels her desire to combine tradition and innovation. In 2020, she joined the semi-professional
ensemble AMANEOS as an arranger/choir director.
