Those who met her, on her beloved island or while she’s touring Europe, agree on the fact that Nathalie Natiembé is a real phenomenon. She’s already in her forties when she decides in 1997 to perform for the first time, following the destiny an entire family from Reunion Island. Her genuine & energetic shows immediately charm the audiences in Indian Ocean, Southern Africa and soon worldwide. She offers Creole poetry, coupled with an adventurous and coloured Maloya. Following “Margoz”, her second album “Sanker” is quite simply a gem. It has been recorded with some of the most influential musicians from Indian Ocean : Lélou Menwar from Mauritius and the Malagasy accordionist Régis Gizavo. The impressive percussionists Sami Pageaux (son of emblematic Danyel Waro) and Jean Amemoutou (grand son of popular singer Maxime Laope) can be heard on each track as well as on stage with the singer. Just check on them and you will witness a new era for Maloya.
