L'Integrale

Description

Chanter, percussionist, flutist, Dédé Saint-Prix has been the great champion of Antillean music for 50 years. Originally from Martinique, he popularized the traditional chouval bwa music, which he brought to all continents by mixing it with other rhythms from the Caribbean, Africa, or Réunion.
An engaged musician, a transmitter, a pedagogue, and a formidable entertainer, Dédé Saint-Prix is today a true living legend. Frémeaux & Associés, Anbalari Edysion, and Couleurs Music Publishing have joined forces to publish this complete 5 CD set, a retrospective that highlights the work of one who will remain one of the greatest representatives of the musical contribution of the Caribbean to the universal heritage.

“If I had to use two words to summarize my musical journey, it would be love and commitment. (…) My music has reconciled many of us with our roots and given momentum to some students longing for their homeland. At the very beginning, Patrick Chamoiseau (Goncourt Prize 1992) informed me that he was writing books while listening to my music. As for me, I live from my art, I carry my philosophy, my energy, the kréol language, my pedagogy, my Martinique… On the mother music planet.” Dédé Saint-Prix
