SAODAJ’
Reunion Island - France
Acoustic and nomadic Maloya at the big planetary ball
20H30 - Salle des Sucres
Emblematic of the new generation of artists who have taken up the torch of burning Maloya, Native of Reunion Saodaj’ place their crystal clear voice and the impetuous ternary islander rhythm in the great concert of globalized music. Nourished by Southern, West Africa and
European influences, this young traveller quintet puzzling by the maturity of their acoustic fusion, both faithful to their history and ancestors and definitely open to hybridizations. Carried by the
charismatic singer Marie LANFROY, this nomadic Maloya proves to be much more than a musical promise by its soaring vocals and its vertiginous trance, Saodaj’ revives a genre of
ecstatic virtues.
