Originally from Reunion Island, Sika Rlion is the rising star of the new Afro-Reggae scene. She offers us a subtle blend of trap, reggae, and R&B sounds, sometimes tinged with Maloya, where French lyrics are interwoven with Creole. Described as the voice of Reunion Island’s new wave, she brings a breath of fresh air to the music scene and opens our eyes to a very promising future.
More than a year after the release of "Endemik", Sika Rlion has unveiled a reissue of her debut album, available since June 19. This new version features six previously unreleased tracks, including “Big Kafrine,” “Criminal” (feat. BadSam), “Bad Girl 2” (with DJ Dan Wayo), “So Bat,” “Dan Fond La” (with Tidem), and “Ne le prends pas mal,” further showcasing the richness of her musical universe.
SIKA RLION made a name for herself with the release of her debut EP, "Intense". Just six months after its release, the first two singles, “Galet” and “Laisse Tomber,” had already racked up nearly 2 million streams, earning her her first Reggae Dancehall Award in the Most Streamed Female Artist category. Her single “Valer” has 2.1 million views on YouTube. SIKA RLION effortlessly blends maloya with reggae, dancehall, and rap. Inspired by artists like Davy Sicard and Danyèl Waro, she has created a style that is uniquely her own, bridging tradition and contemporary music.
Her career began with lyrics packed with powerful themes during an era marked notably by artists like Kaf Malbar. We’ll never be able to overlook her feisty, rebellious side she’s always ready to take on a challenge. That’s only natural for a young woman who had to carve out a niche for herself among a host of male artists in sound systems and open mics of all kinds.
With the re-release of "Endémik", SIKA RLION is also continuing her tour. After a concert at the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, she’ll play several dates in France and abroad, notably at the Nuits d’Afrique festival in Montreal.
