Danyel Waro

REUNION

Propelled by chants and raucous percussion, maloya is the musical emblem of the French Indian Ocean island of Réunion – and Danyel Waro is its most important ambassador. Musician, poet, instrument-maker and militant supporter of Creole culture, Waro brings together the island’s essential African, Asian and European influences in pulsing rhythms that are stirring and infectious.
