Alexandre Stellio

Stellio or the memory of Saint-Pierre! The eruption of the Montagne pelée couldn't bury everything. However, it was in French Guiana, where he spent his adolescence, that the Pierrotine star, trading in his flute for a clarinet, began to spread the first flourishes of his biguine at the dances of Cayenne, with the complicity of Archange Saint-Hilaire. Back home in 1919, Stellio revived the Saint-Pierre tunes thought to be forever consigned to memory. He triumphed at the Gaumont and Select-Tango animation sessions, outshining his great rival Léon Apanon with the purity of his sound, the clarity of his phrasing and his fertile inspiration. For ten years, Stellio was acclaimed by an ever-growing number of admirers. It was at the height of his fame, in 1929, that Stellio, accompanied by Archange Saint-Hilaire, Victor Collat, Ernest Léardée and Orphélien, set sail for the metropolis. Stellio's Band instantly set the Bal de la Glacière and Le Canari ablaze. In the process, he engraves six jewels in the purest tradition of the Pierrotine biguine. It was the advent of the Saint-Pierre star, and the beginning of biguine-mania. He multiplied his recording sessions and events in the high places of Creole music. He was crowned King of the Biguine at the Paris Colonial Exhibition in 31. Stellio's incredible epic continued until the last breath of a biguine in 1939.
