about

Following the release of the POSITION mixtape at the beginning of the year, here is PANGAR’s first album POSITION.

“PANGAR“ is derived from the Réunion Island Creole "Prends Garde“, meaning ”watch out!“ or ”attention!” — and that’s not a question, it’s an imperative. The music of Kwalud and Betnwaar is not just a melting pot but rather an explosive cocktail of ideas, influences, rhythms and sounds. There is an almost extreme energy bubbling at the core of their music as they whip and snap in an ongoing dance of tension and release.

Over 15 years after relocating to La Réunion and taking in as well as becoming part of the islands fascinating mix of cultures, the pair produces a percussive blend of electronic music with a creole super engine fueled by a unique spin on Reunion Island’s musical heritage. In a constant clash of influences, they travel imaginary otherworlds, burning through urban sounds from both hemispheres.

In the very DNA of Creole cultures, everything is inextricably linked: like electric shocks traveling through a brain, new connections and combinations are made every millisecond. Drawing influence from Maloya, Soca, Reggaeton, Dancehall, Indian Percussion, Bass Music as well as societal and cultural themes both on La Réunion as well as the world, PANGAR creates something truly unique and captivating. Rythms collide, mutate and interweave in the shadows of a mysterious, uncharted island, and we never know whether they’re kissing of fighting.
