Ti Fred
Sitantelman (Cobalt)

Listen

The record label says: Maloya, the music of the creole people of the small island of La Réunion, seemed in danger of dying out. Castigated as the music of slaves, linked to their African past and to voodoo tradition, the Maloya was officially frowned on and received no state support. Recent years have seen a revival of interest, led by Daniel Waro - the father of Maloya - and a number of younger performers have come forward. The Maloya rhythm is beaten out on local drums - the rouler, piker and bob. Ti Fred, born Fred Belhomme, appeared as a percussionist in the ground-breaking Daniel Waro band. he supplies ecstatic vocals to the mix of bangers and shakers.

Please note! Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
