Ti’kaniki

Maloya (Reunion Island)

Ti’kaniki is a Maloya band (traditional music from Reunion Island) based in Lyon, France. Existing for almost 10 years, the group is made up of Creoles and metropolitan musicians with diverse origins. They claim a modern Maloya, open to the world but firmly anchored in this tradition. Since the beginning, the group has united around kabars (open Maloya stages) during which they invite a good number of Reunion Island artists (René Lacaille, Davy Sicard, Maya Kamaty…) but also artists from other traditional music from Africa, the Caribbean or even Europe.

With several records and international tours to their credit, the group is now recognized in Maloya including in Reunion Island.

Since 2023, Ti’kaniki has been collaborating regularly with the singer Marsel Philéas, son of Granmoun Lélé and a reference in Maloya music.
