Marijosé Alie is a talented French journalist, singer, and writer born in Paris in 1951, with deep roots in Martinique where she spent much of her childhood soaking up the island's vibrant cultural heritage. Her music career kicked off in the 1980s with the iconic French Caribbean orchestra Malavoi, where her hit "Karésé mwen" became a massive success, leading to solo releases like the 1989 album *Gaoulé* and 2000's *Zambouya*, blending zouk rhythms with themes of racism, métissage, and everyday joys.

She's also penned books, including the award-winning novel *Le Convoi* (Prix Ivoire 2016), and remains a beloved voice in Caribbean music and literature.
