Clara, Davy Sicard, Camélia Jordana, or even Metronomy ensured the atmosphere. A festive wind has taken hold of the Ravine Blanche since Friday with the Sakifo Festival. It blew a little stronger yesterday, Saturday June 4th.
The 2022 edition of the Sakifo Festival began on Friday and continues at the Ravine Blanche site in Saint-Pierre.
Saturday June 4, on the second evening of concerts, the public was still there, happy to find the beautiful atmosphere of the Festival following several editions disrupted by the health crisis. Last night once more it was the wind, and the festive wind that blew together on the stages of Sakifo.

From 6 p.m., Clara got the ball rolling with a concert broadcast live on Réunion La 1ère. The star of séga, the young woman arrived on the Filaos stage with her title, “La force l’amour”. Sing, dance, krazez, the tone is set for this concert passed between a few drops of rain. Despite all the public is there, not enough to discourage festival-goers.

At 9 p.m., Camélia Jordana has not yet entered the stage, which she hums from the backstage Banm Kalou Banm by Danyel Waro. Surprised and conquered, the public gives him an ovation. The show can begin. “No, no, no”, “Easy”: captivating and heady melodies, at only 28 years old, Camélia Jordana ignites the Salahin stage for the second time in her career.
