Syli d’Or 2025 | Reunion Island in The Running with Kozé

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Indian Ocean / Maloya

Additional Information

After a recent interview with an artist from Mauritius, Yannick Nanette, from the group The TWO, it’s Reunion Island’s turn to be in the spotlight this time, through the group Kozé, finalists in the 18th edition of the Syli d’Or. During my interview with one of the founding members, we talked not only about Maloya and the different instruments played by the band members, but also about their future projects and their relationship with their homeland. Group spirit is important to Kozé, which gives each member the space to contribute according to his or her strengths. Our journalist Sandra Gasana spoke to David Lynam for PANM360, just a few days before the final on Friday April 25 at the Fairmount Theatre.
