Mizik Maladi : Disques Debs International Volume 3

Description

Strut Records presents the highly anticipated third volume of the Disques Debs International series, delving deeper into the archives of one of the greatest French Caribbean labels, Disques Debs, based in Guadeloupe. Playing a central role in shaping modern Caribbean music, the label bridged traditional biguine and gwoka with contemporary styles such as cadence, compas and zouk, the latter becoming a global phenomenon in the 1980s with the contribution of iconic artists like Kassav' and Zouk Machine. This period saw Disques Debs champion a new generation of artists while maintaining ties with the legendary figures of previous decades. Volume 3 of this series highlights one of the label’s most dynamic and influential periods, as it took on a global dimension during the 1980s. Across 2 x LP, this third volume presents a selection of established and emerging artists who defined their era and celebrates not only the unmatched legacy of Henri Debs, but also offers a snapshot of a golden age of Caribbean music, thus cementing Disques Debs as a cultural institution.
