Posted on by admin6800

For today, I wanted to share with you for today “Mo Amelie“, a deep beautiful syncopated Island Sega Soul Folk Jazz track, recorded in 1975 in Paris at the legendary “Davout” recording studios by an ambassador of the music from Mauritius (Indian Ocean island), the composer & singer Jean Desire Clarel Edouard Betsy, better known as “Clarel Betsy“.

Out as a single at the time, this song only appears in a 12 inches format on the compilation presented here, out in the mid 70s on the Mauritian record label “Do Re Mi“, with a gorgeous cover art – Enjoy !

Firmin Viry – Ti Crie A Moin Anin (Reunion, 1970s, Disques Issa)

Posted on by admin6800

For today, I wanted to share with you “Ti Crie A Moin Anin“, a incredible deep Folk Jazz Maloya track, one of the major musical genre from Reunion island in the Indian Ocean (with Sega music), that blends together musical roots from France & former slave chants from several African countries such as Zimbabwe (where “Maloya” could be translated by “great sorcerer“), Mozambique (where it could be translated by “incantation“) and Madagascar (where “Maloy Aho” could be translated by “to hurl“).

Prohibited at the end of the 50s by the French administrators of the island, this genre was officially authorized once again in the late 70s, and is listed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2009.

The song presented here was recorded in the 70s by Firmin Viry, one of the masters of the genre, and is my favorite from him – Enjoy !
