Ophélie Belin is the Director of Alliance Française de Chandigarh. For Fête de la Musique 2021, she presents a special selection of music titled 'The Creole Touch - Reunion Island'. In her own words:
“This playlist is the reflection of the cultural dynamism and the interbreeding present on this French island located in the Indian Ocean and which shares a common history with India. The Indian presence in Reunion goes back to the origins of the settlement of the island in the 17th century.
This playlist brings together the main artists of the Reunion Island electronic scene. You will be able to hear the ternary rhythm of Maloya as well as Indian influences.”
