PANGAR are Kwalud and Betnwaar, DJs, producers and
sweaty revelry organizers based in Reunion Island, also
known as the Sauvage Sound System.
As PANGAR, the pair produce a percussive blend of
electronic music with a creole super engine fuelled by a
unique spin on Reunion Island’s musical heritage, bass
music and a furious determination to make it dance all
over the planisphere. In a constant clash of influences,
they travel imaginary otherworlds, burning through urban
sounds from both hemispheres.
Modern echoes of maloya – the ancient music of slaves in
Reunion Island turned emblem for feisty new generations
– meet jerky Soca grooves, ghosts of Dancehall, flashes of
Club Music. Rythms collide, mutate and interweave in the
shadows of a mysterious, uncharted island, and we never
know wether they’re kissing of fighting.
Pangar’s experimental, polyrythmic music simultaneously
heralds and refuses the end of our world. Their urgent,
auditive poetry is echoed live by Fegré’s striking visual
artwork.
