    dance from Reunion Island!

    Tanishka : Its fine, Its fine. Are you a tourist? Because you don’t look
    like you are from here
    Vanshika: Yeah! I have come from India. It looks like you aren’t from
    here either.

    Akshay : Hello, would you like to join us?
    Tanishka:I would love to.
    Sarthak: Elena ,do you know anything about this dance?
    Tanishka: I know a little bit about it, but not much. Could you tell me
    more?
    Amey: Sure, we can tell you about it.
    Maloya on Reunion Island was a far cry from the joyful sounds we are
    used to hearing today!It was created as a means to express the pain
    and rebellion of the Malgache and African Slaves. In this dance,
    dancers often move in a circular or spiral pattern, reflecting the
    influence of African dance traditions.
    Akshay:.Maloya is a form of music, song, and dance native to
    Reunion Island. It was mixed with rock,reggae or jazz and inspires
    poetry and slam.
    Vanshika: The primary instrument used is the “ravanne”, a large
    tambourine-like drum, and other percussion instruments like the
    maravanne and kayamb. These instruments contribute to the vibrant
    and rhythmic nature of Maloya.
    Tanishka: Wow! I didn’t know Maloya has such an interesting story
    behind it. Thank you for telling me this!
    Sarthak: You’re welcome. But we better go back to our hotel now. It
    is getting late.
    Tanishka: I think I will stay, this fun fair really lives up to its name.And
    I will enjoy here.Bye guys!
