    Biography

    Baster is a band which from Réunion founded in 1983. They perform sega, maloya and reggae. Their music has been described as electric maloya. They are one of the most popular maloya groups and perform a poetic and lyrical form of the genre. They formed at Basse-Terre, which was formerly a village near Saint-Pierre but, due to urban sprawl, it is now part of Saint-Pierre.
 Their songs are defined by their texts in Réunion Creole written and sung by Thierry Gauliris, and their addition of reggae elements set with strong guitar solos. In 2002, he went to the Tuff Gong studio of Bob Marley and did reggae versions of his greatest hits.
