Whilst in Réunion Island, Mother’s day will be on Sunday 7th June, in the UK it will be this Sunday 22nd March.

 

Kozman ti dalon, the band rising from Saint Joseph a little village in the south of the Island took the opportunity to say thank to their mums with this beautiful slow Maloya song.

 

The title of the song is Sé mon momon! It’s from Reunionese Creole, the local language born in the time of slavery when African slaves tried to replicate the phonetically the language of their French masters.

 

It means ‘It’s my mum’ and the chorus ‘Oté cafrine la, Sé Mon Momon!’ means Yes, this woman is my mum!

 

Mister Shakira went back home to say hello to his mum!

 

Mum, wherever you are… I love you!

 Moringue dancing by Kozman ti dalon

 

The Band Kozman ti dalon from Reunion Island will perform its percussion style drumming at the Liverpool Festival in July 08.

 

Kozman is a group of 10 artists originated from the city of Saint Joseph in the southern part of the island. They are renowned in Reunion for accompanying their Maloya music to the African originated fighting dance called Moringue

 

Their very rhythmic drumming reminds of us of the true African origin of this local music.

 

They will be playing at the Unity theatre Friday 25th July and in Southport on Sunday 27.
