It is PIBF season! This year we are presenting a three part series about the foundation of the festival, the trials and tribulations (how we learn from our mistakes!) and the future of the festival and genre as a whole. Each episode, I will be joined by the festival director The Sugar Duchess in a no holds barred discussion.

This is Episode One - The Foundation

Born in Reunion Island with parents

from Madagascar, Carole grew up

dancing to the beat of ballroom

rhythms and singing to the melodies

of French musicals.

Loyal to the Tropic of Capricorn,

Carole journeyed to Perth, Western

Australia in pursuit of education and

new horizons.

Ironically, it’s when she’s the furthest

away from home that she truly

discovered and deep-dived into her

native island music and dance, sega

and maloya.

Following a happy stint in the Maloya

band Salama, Carole now leads the

vibrant Tchega playing Creole folk

music with contemporary influences.
