Following the success of their 2022 debut album “L’opium du peuple,” Réunion-based collective Sly Sugar makes a powerful return with their brand-new EP “Vida Loka.” The project reaffirms the group’s deep connection to their island roots while boldly expanding their sound through unexpected rhythms and vibrant cross-cultural influences.

Built upon a solid reggae and dub foundation, “Vida Loka” pushes boundaries with jungle-inspired grooves and soaring, distorted guitar riffs that add new layers of energy and emotion. The result is a record that’s both grounded and daring, a sonic journey that feels familiar yet refreshingly unpredictable.

True to their Réunion heritage, Sly Sugar places cultural and linguistic diversity at the heart of their music. Through a seamless mix of Creole, French, and Brazilian Portuguese, the band crafts songs that transcend borders, inviting listeners into a rhythmic voyage across continents and styles.

With five fresh and dynamic tracks, “Vida Loka” embodies the spirit of experimentation that defines Sly Sugar’s artistry. It’s a celebration of identity and unity through sound, a testament to the band’s ability to blend genres into a cohesive and uplifting experience.

“Vida Loka” is a statement of freedom and creativity, a vibrant addition to the French and Indian Ocean music scenes, proving that Sly Sugar continues to evolve without losing the heart and soul that made them stand out.

“Vida Loka” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
