Presentation
Music fans? Les fadas du Monde invite you to a concert by Maya Kamaty. Powerful basslines (from electro-folk by Asgeir to hip-hop by Kendrick Lamar and pop by Björk) support the traditional kayamb of maloya. In the Cour de l'île.
Maya Kamaty has created her own identity as an artist through Creole culture. She is the embodiment of a fifth-generation fusion. She grew up in a musical world of her own, that of the famous Réunionese collective Ziskakan, founded by her father, Gilbert Pounia, and to which her mother, the storyteller Any Grondin, also belonged.
Armed with a strong cultural identity, she chose ‘Kamaty’ as her middle name (that of an upright, marginal and intense woman from the village of Grand Bois, about whom her father spoke to her a great deal) to chart her own course.
Her first album, Santié Papang (2014), was a success, being named ‘Coup de cœur’ by the Académie Charles Cros. With it, she toured the globe: from India to Australia via Morocco, South Africa, Canada, South Korea and China.
Maya then decided to move away from the acoustic folk of her first album and develop her music further. The result was Pandiyé, released in 2018. With the help of producer Victor Vagh (Flavia Coelho), Maya and her band have found the right balance between the organic and the electronic. Powerful basslines (borrowing from the electro-folk of Iceland's Asgeir, the hip-hop of Kendrick Lamar and the pop of Björk) support the traditional kayamb (played by Maya) of maloya. This reinvented maloya no longer belongs just to Réunion, but to the world. The Pandiyé tour will take the group on the roads of Europe and Canada until the opening of the Vieilles Charrues festival in July 2021.
