{"product_id":"celia-wa_wastral-vinyl_2021_lad","title":"WASTRAL (vinyl)","description":"THE RISING STAR FROM GUADELOUPE. An EP produced by VICTOR VAGH, FLAVIA COELHO's producer. It is from gwoka that energy and inspiration stem. From these hands which, when not a raised fist, beat the drums, proud of their roots and their Guadeloupean identity. This is where Celia Wa comes from, all that she inherited by sharing her childhood between the West Indies and mainland France. The first years of her life discovering the musical soul of the island, letting the seven gwoka rhythms infiltrate her until they became an integral part of her. The following years, discovering reggae, salsa, jazz and omnipresent hip hop. Music whose original source sprang up close to her but to which she only opened up after moving thousands of miles away. After two self-produced EPs, Wastral is the sum of these inspirations and influences. Dissipated in misty arrangements, softened by the effect of synthetic layers, the organic has meticulously covered itself with an electro varnish disturbed by the echoes and dub reverbs. Celia Wa's soaring and swirling flute caressing or fanning the groove, her lyrics rekindling the memory of her island. New female signature of Heavenly Sweetness, Celia Wa draws with Wastral the map of an avant-garde stellar journey in which Guadeloupe's musical star shines brightest. Born in Paris but raised in Guadeloupe, Celia began music with the 'Ka' (traditional Antillean percussion) at George Troupé's school, then dedicated herself to the flute. She made her first stage appearance at 12 and never left it. Back in Paris, she immersed herself in Hip Hop culture, especially dance, which became her profession before she decided to return to music and release two EPs mixing electronic music and traditional Antillean music (gwo ka).","brand":"Célia Wa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310271250776,"sku":null,"price":23945429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381567601_331de4bc-cabf-4b5d-934d-414191ddd62e.jpg?v=1760318159","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/celia-wa_wastral-vinyl_2021_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
