250,00 € / Sold Out
First album by Gaoulé Mizik, one of the sparehead band of the Gwo Ka Modèn Mizik, this particular form of Gwo Ka blended with Jazz invented by Gérard Lockel a former classic jazz guitarist who came back to Guadeloupe after a long career in France. With Gaoulé Mizik, guitarist Christian Laviso also excels on his instrument paying a real tribute to the muzik of Lockel. The whole album is fantastic, bringing Gwo Ka music to a new dimension like others group like did (hinking of Gwakasonne, Erick Cosaque, Akiyo, Ka-Levé, Zepiss, Edmony Krater, Ka Levé, Horizon GwoKa ...
Check the ultra deep"Koulè" a powerful track with Gwo Ka as rhythm section, deep synth & keyboard, spiritual solo of flute, trumpet and sax. Also don't miss the traditional Gwo Ka anthem "A Ka Titine" or the hypnotic fuzion of "Folk Gaoulé".
This has nothing to do with Zouk music as stated on discogs !
Privately released in the late 80's this one is particulary hard to find especially in clean condition.
Record is EX close to NM (plays not far from flawless, a few crackles on the intro / Sleeve is in fantastic NM shape.
