Polobi's new, rainforest-inspired work is out now!
In the Caribbean rainforest, a river flows, the rush of water drowning out the rustle of leaves, the pulse of insects, and the cry of birds. The song of a man, more powerful than the waters, rises to the tops of ancient trees. Polobi, balancing on a rock, launches a melody towards the infinite sky.
Inspired by the heart of the rainforest, Polobi's mystical persona and his musicians collaborate with the idiosyncratic producer Doctor L (Les Amazones d'Afrique, Mbongwana Star), forging a radical new version of the Gwo Ka musical tradition from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. An electro-acoustic palette and offbeat rhythms clothe these deeply rooted Creole songs in a unique sound world.
