This compilation documents the groundbreaking maloya scene on Réunion Island from the mid-'70s, as Western instrumentation joined traditional malagasy, African and Indian acoustic instruments to spark a whole era of new fusions and creativity. Compiled by Réunionese DJ duo La Basse Tropicale, ‘Oté Maloya’ follows up last year’s acclaimed ‘Soul Sok Séga’ release on Strut.
