Gwendoline Absalon is a Réunionese singer, painter, and photographer, and a major figure on the island’s jazz scene.

On stage as well as internationally (Cape Verde, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Italy), she delivers an intense and immersive performance.

Released on May 8, 2025, her third self-produced album, Fanal Fénwar, marks an artistic and personal rebirth, celebrating light, transmission, and the destiny of women.
