Native from La Source, a working-class area<br />
of Saint Denis that saw the births of other<br />
major musicians on the island (Alain Peters,<br />
Tikok Vellaye amongst others), Tiloun was initiated<br />
into local folklore when he was a kid<br />
: dancing, playing drums, singing are genetic<br />
to him! He really started making music<br />
in a much more serious way after the 1991<br />
social riots in Saint Denis. That was the trigger<br />
mechanism which convinced him he<br />
had to express himself and share his ideas<br />
and concerns. He learns from playing with<br />
Firmin Viry the true meaning of Maloya, the<br />
philosophy behind the music, the way of<br />
life it involves.<br />
In parallel, Tiloun keeps on working as a<br />
special needs professional, convinced music’s<br />
going to remain a hobby. But others aren’t alright with that matter of fact<br />
: Ziskakan, Firmin Viry and Danyel Waro successively offer to finance his longawaited<br />
first album’s recording and urge him to do so. « De pat ater » was released<br />
in 2008, almost twenty years after Tiloun’s first song recitals! Fortunately,<br />
he didn’t take as much time for his second full-length, « Kas in poz », released in<br />
2011 and played live in numerous venues since then. Tiloun’s fragile yet striking<br />
voice recounts us his own Reunion’s history, made of cultural mix and respect.<br />
His uncluttered and harmonious Maloya works wonders!<br />
