Grand Remplacement Records is a label whose mission is to connect artists from the diasporas of southern countries with producers and players in the music industry, in order to give their projects resources and visibility.

The label operates as follows: all profits from our events, merch sales and donations go directly back into the artists’ projects. These funds will be used to supplement the work of people who give their time to the artists, and to invest in the promotion of their musical releases.

By supporting our label, you are directly supporting independent music and making a political commitment to defend projects that are daring, authentic and uncensored.
