VOTIA

Rooted in strong family traditions and shaped by African, Indian, and Malagasy heritage, Votia’s performance brings dynamic rhythms, rich vocal harmonies, and an infectious energy that moves the audience to dance and connect. This is more than a concert – it’s a joyful, collective experience that bridges generations and cultures.

Led by Marie-Claude Lambert-Philéas – daughter of legendary Maloya artist Gramoun Lélé – Votia blends the family's musical legacy with original compositions sung in Creole and Malagasy. Their sound is a powerful fusion of traditional instruments and a contemporary edge. Maloya, often described as the blues of Réunion, carries stories of resistance and hope, and Votia conveys this heritage with authenticity and radiant joy. A concert with Votia is not just a musical experience, but a journey through time, culture, and emotion – where the audience becomes part of a living tradition.
