Meet Kan, a music-loving Mauritian inventor who creates original instruments from everyday objects and recycled materials.

Fascinated by musical instruments from around the world, Kan is equally committed to protecting the environment. By bringing these two passions together, he has developed an original and unexpected approach: creating musical instruments from recycled materials.

Everyday objects, discarded items and materials destined for the bin are given a new purpose in his hands. With ingenuity, curiosity and imagination, Kan transforms them into unique instruments capable of producing surprising and distinctive sounds.

His work encourages us to look differently at the objects around us. It shows how music and creativity can also raise awareness of recycling, reusing materials and protecting the environment.

Travel-Îles introduces a truly original Mauritian inventor whose world brings music, craftsmanship and sustainability into perfect harmony.
