Allez Les Filles!   Part IV - Episode 1 :  MonOi!  :  X  ( Bongou  - 28/07/2023). The Eastern Coast of La Reunion was giving us a close-up view of the rural spirit of the island and its deep-rooted history: humidity-laden trade winds, sugar cane fields as far as the eye could see, tropical forests of the Heights, volcano and entrance to the hilly Cirques, turbulent Indian Ocean, ethnic mixture... The place was charming, but it was also necessary to admit this first truth: at night, in the East, it was just impossible to overcome boredom. The cultural café le Bisik in Saint Benoît was one of the few places to go out in the area. I'd ever appreciated thi...

Allez Les Filles!   Part III : Thee Orlondo's & Kilkil :  X  ( Bongou  - 19/07/2023). Spending one’s winter in the Southern tropics was the dream for many on the French mainland. But for most of the people gathered around here, on Reunion island, the austral summer was kind of a nightmare.

The first one went without saying : I tri...

Allez Les Filles!   Part II.2 : Pamplemousse :  X  ( Bongou  - 14/07/2023). Finally, the local band  Pamplemousse   x was back in the concert halls of La Réunion. The trio had been missed for almost two years, since its last show at the  Théâtre de Plein Air   during the  Rock O TEAT   festival x , where the band had revealed once again its full live power and had perfectly closed its French tour settled down after the release of its second album,  High Strung , released in 2019 on  À Tant Rêver du Roi Records . No need to say that the band was eagerly awaited. The full capacity of the  StudioTic   cellar/bl...

Allez Les Filles!   Part II.1 : Putan Club : x  ( Bongou  - 08/07/2023). Putan Club   was both a duo on stage and a couple in life. Gianna Greco, was born Sicilian and met her Franco-Italian boyfriend, François-Régis Cambuza, in Rome. But it was clear that those questions of nationalities and origins weren’t that important for them, and that they were happily glossing over all that. They were rather more the kind of people to claim to be citizens of the world, supporters of the Great International, or contemporary nomads. Their situationist rocker attitude, the various projects they'd been involved in over the years and their itinerancy around the world seemed to...
