SAKIFO, IN REUNION CREOLE, IS AN EXPRESSION AKIN TO A VICTORIOUS RALLYING CRY: “IT’S WHAT WE NEED”! The Sakifo has always managed to blend tradition and modernity, here and elsewhere, young and old, thus bringing together the full diversity of La Réunion over one weekend. And this “rougail”—this joyous mix of genres—is the very DNA of the Sakifo. Sakifo means “what is needed” in Réunion Creole, and today it enjoys a strong connection with its audience. The festival boasts the longest longevity of any music festival on the island.
