“Sit back and relax while we blow through your minds”
(Byron Morris & Unity)
Revolutionary jazz, soul, dub, fourth world, Brazilian, funk, Afro, zouk, gwoka, freedom sounds, deep house, leftfield nuggets, obscure grooves and forgotten classics – the idea is to find the connections to create a unique cosmic bubble. Some of these connections might be obvious, like a transition from zouk to makossa, or from Miles Davis to Gangstarr, while others might appear much less so, like a jump from Tom Ze to Junior Murvin, or deep techno to uplifting soul – it’s this combination of knowledge, ability to read the crowd and spur of the moment inspiration which can create magic.

I am a Norwegian going to Guadeloupe to hear the good music. Gokwa moderne. Could you help out.
The best is to go to Pointe-à-Pitre market (“la piétonne”, next to Vélo’s statue) to hear Akiyo, every Saturday from noon to 3pm-ish. It’s amazing every time and once there you can enquire about other gwoka events/gatherings across the island.
