Melodies from the islands of the Indian Ocean tell of diversity, resilience and a deep connection to nature. Four artists present the music of their homeland in this family concert. They combine different musical styles, Creole languages and instruments with current issues such as the climate crisis, colonialism and nature conservation. From oral traditions and with new creative input, versatile pieces are created, complemented by texts on the challenges of the islands. Sega, maloya, taarab and other genres merge with influences from India, China, Africa, Europe and Arabia. Joining them: Samoela Andriamalalaharijaona "Sammy" (Madagascar), Eliasse Ben Joma (Comoros), Percy Yip Tong (Mauritius), Sarasvati Mallac (Mauritius) and Christine Salem (Réunion), who keep the musical heritage of their islands alive.
