If youโve never heard of this small collection of atolls, I wouldnโt blame you ๐บ๏ธโ They are some of the most remote in the world, located about half-way between Tanzania and Indonesia. As the name implies they are now owned by the British -bcuz why wouldnโt they want a remote island thousand of km away from anything- but this wasnโt always so. The native Chagos people who used to live here were all forcibly removed in the 60s to make way for military bases ๐คฆโโ๏ธ Nowadays tho the atols are disputed between Britain, the US, and Mauritius who all want them for different reasons. Between them all though, are ppl like Charlesia: one of the last of the remaining Chagos peoples who just want to keep their traditions alive, even if they are no longer home ๐ด๐ช #musicmap #worldmusic #indigenous
