LiNDiGo
For twenty years, the LiNDiGo group, led by Olivier Araste, has been the most popular maloya group in Reunion. However, his approach is not locked in nostalgia, nor in the shackles of a sterile memory. The foundations serve the momentum, and the roots build the future: this is the "Maloya Power". They already have more than 1500 concerts and seven albums to their credit and many Reunion or international hits (Domoun, Ahinama). On stage, their jubilant trance, as much of an identity as it is open to new horizons, infects all audiences.
LiNDiGo celebrated 20 years in 2019, on this occasion Hélico produced a mini documentary series Les Routes de Lindigo for Canal +. This series followed the Film Ahinama which retraced Lindigo's trip to Cuba. The various films trace their travels and encounters in Brazil, Cuba, Japan, South Africa, Mozambique and England. The leader of the "Olivyé" group is also the privileged partner of Fixi, Yarol Poupaud, Pongo, Jori and Gino from Skip&Die, René Lacaille and Cyril Atef.
In concert, the eight members of the group combine an acoustic maloya repertoire with mixed titles of Afrobeat, Mandinka or Afro-Cuban music.
