Lindigo - Domoun - LIVE at Afrikafestival Hertme 2015

Performance - 4 July 2015
“When you know where you come from, you know where you are going”, so runs the motto of Olivier Araste, the charismatic leader of Lindigo and committed champion for continued development of Maloya. Maloya is Réunion Island’s vibrant symbol of Creole culture whose strident vocal calls, chanted responses and complex percussion rhythms originated with the slaves brought to work on the sugar plantations.
Maloya became a weapon of resistance, banned until the 1980’s. Lindigo’s mission is to celebrate a Maloya that is free and forward-looking, building on its proud heritage. They explore the mixed Malagasy, African and Indian roots and incorporate instruments like the Madagascan kabosy and the West African kamelengoni and balafon as well as influences from travels in Morocco and Brazil into their high-octane performances to connect the Maloya message to the next generation and the world.
