«Two first-rate musicians, the Paris-based jazz harmonicist Olivier Ker Ourio and THE voice of the maloya, namely Danyel Waro, have come up with this "path of the heart" (Sominnkér), an invigorating mix of jazz and maloya. With its magical music, powerful lyrics and emotional intensity, this album will stand out in the history of Reunion music. "Eleven years ago, I left Reunion and settled in Paris to fully live my passion for jazz. I have remained haunted by this magical island, its landscapes, its contrasts, its cultural diversity. The Creole culture is very present in my life. I eat and speak Creole, and I listen to Reunion music, sega and especially maloya. I had been dreaming for years of blending the tones of jazz with the irresistible beat of maloya. I could not wish for a better way than this 'path of the heart' with Danyel Waro and this gang of amazing musicians" (Olivier Ker Ourio).» (Africultures). «Dans une égale volonté de partage, de respect et d’exigence, Olivier Ker Ourio (un harmoniciste rare dans le jazz d’aujourd’hui) et Danyel Waro (la «voix» du maloya de la Réunion) ont tracé ce “chemin de cœur” (Sominnkér): une rencontre qui fera date par la magie des musiques, la puissance des textes, l’intensité des émotions. “Il y a onze ans, j’ai quitté la Réunion pour m’installer à Paris et vivre ma passion : le jazz. Je suis toujours habité par cette île magique, ses paysages, ses contrastes, sa diversité culturelle. La culture créole est toujours très présente dans ma vie : j’aime manger et parler créole, et je suis resté à l’écoute des musiques réunionnaises, le séga et surtout le maloya. Je rêvais depuis des années d’une rencontre entre les couleurs du jazz et le rythme irrésistible du maloya. Je ne pouvais espérer mieux que ce chemin de cœur avec Danyel Waro et toute une famille d’extraordinaires musiciens” (Olivier Ker Ourio).»
