Fronted by Gilbert Pounia, Ziskakan are one of Reunion's best known groups. They formed in 1979 and their style is maloya, to which they add modern techniques as well as some Indian instruments. They have toured abroad extensively: USA, UK, Belgium, India, Mauritius, Seychelles, as well as mainland France.
Here they are yesterday playing one of their most famous songs: Bato Fou.
March 2018 update:
And here's Ziskakan at a concert in Pondicherry, India, specifically Daniel Reisser on his guitar playing the end of 'Saigon'.
