DIGITAL ZANDOLI 2 (vinyl)

Description

After the success of the first volume, Heavenly Sweetness returns with the sequel to the DIGITAL ZANDOLI adventures, a compilation that made an impression on all fans of Caribbean music as well as electro. Many DJs across Europe have started playing these tropical synthetic sounds, and there is strong anticipation for the follow-up. Julien Digger's Diggest and Nicolas Skliris have put together a new selection of funk, electro, and zouk from the French Caribbean. Gems, unknown tracks that knowledgeable listeners are rediscovering with enthusiasm. These tracks reveal the musicians’ desire for singularity, Caribbean musicians’ fusion of traditional rhythms with other musical genres (funk, disco, afro-beat, Latin-Brazilian...), with the addition of new instruments such as drum machines and synthesizers in the creative process. On many zouk albums from this period, there was often one, or even several, tracks that could be described as “proto-zouk,” “funky-zouk,” or even “boogie-zouk” to emphasize the fusion of genres.
