MANG


Malaka in concert: an organic and spellbinding Guadeloupean experience. Malaka, a sister duo formed by Laurina and Sacha, takes the stage with music that is gentle, rhythmic, and deeply organic. Carried by their voices, which harmonize as if in a single breath, they create a vibrant world that blends raw melodies with sensitive poetry. Accompanied by guitar, cajón, and the percussion of Thimothée Faure, they evoke the sweetness of honey, spices, and an energy reminiscent of CocoRosie. Their influences—from Joy Crookes to Little Simz—fuel a unique style that is both intimate and powerful. With the release of their first EP, Malaka explores our roots and what connects us, opening a dialogue with the audience around their mysterious “Maï.” Daughters of a Creole world, often compared to Ibeyi, they are forging their own path.


This performance is presented in co-production with Alliance Française Ottawa.
