Nathalie Natiembé

The rough songs of Nathalie Natiembé are réunionnaises point of the hair until the end of the nails. Possessionnaise of adoption after a youth passed in the streets of the center of St-Denis, Nathalie Natiembé remembers to have always sung.

"Dopui dann vant' my monmon!" In 1998, after some rebellious and binary gallops of test, it launches out body and heart in the writing. Nathalie Natiembé works the creole language with the body. Words, it draws from the strong emotions by going up some the wire. This exercise A brought back besides to its Mozambicaine source in March 2001 within the framework of an outstanding round on the personal level.

When, in Catembé in the south of the country, it crosses considerable homonyms, the réunionnaise is discovered a family extended to the grounds of Africa. With the Sankèr album, Nathalie Natiembé delivers her vision of it could become this music... the maloya. Surrounded by musicians of the Indian Ocean (Reunion, Mauritius and Madagascar), it confronts the maloya and opens it at new horizons... Until finding the heart of it.
