Sofaz is a vibrant international music collective formed in Toulouse, France around 2012 by Thierry Devje and Edouard Chaize. The ensemble features members from Reunion Island, Burkina Faso, Morocco, and France, blending their diverse cultural heritages into a rich, energetic sound . Their music is a powerful fusion of Maloya (the traditional music of Reunion Island), Gnawa trance, West African rhythms, and modern electronic production—creating what they call Maloya‑Electro. Their live shows evoke "volcanic energy," with djembe, kayanm, guembri, synthesizers, and breakbeats driving a communal, trance-like experience �.
