With a blend of electronic elements, the typical island percussion and string instruments and the poetic Creole sound, Maya Kamaty effectively re-invents the music of La Réunion island. Yet, she never actually wanted to become a musician. It all began when she was studying in France and became homesick that she started writing songs, then mixed the French Chanson tradition with influences from La Réunion and subsequently began to introduce more electronics into her music. The result is a fascinating equilibrium between local and global, between acoustic and electronic, between the past and the future.
