Soleil Kréyol

Description

"Soul Créole!" Two words are enough for David Walters to describe his music. The exclamation mark emphasizes the radical nature and faith in his message. A succinct definition behind which lies the maze of a culture that crosses oceans, connecting continents and archipelagos by an invisible yet powerful thread. A deeply rooted bond that allows Africa, America, Europe, and the Caribbean to converse with each other in a language as universal as music, dance, carnivals, or cathartic ceremonies. Scattered across the globe, the various Creole cultures find a point of convergence where they are all represented: New York, where David Walters has chosen to set the stage for his new album. After five years of traveling the world for the Nouveaux Explorateurs on Canal +, gathering musical encounters, he has chosen to let his Soleil Kreyol shine around this hyperactive city, infusing his music with the spirit and aesthetics that prevailed in the 70s and 80s.
