Figure emblematic of Martinican music, Dédé Saint Prix always pushes the boundaries of his Caribbean. His latest album fulfills a childhood dream, as an accomplished artist: recording in Cuba, with all mixed roots, in the tempo of the major island! Even if cyclone Sandy joins the party... A journey that takes us from Havana to Santiago, towards the sounds of the guitar, the colors of the congas, the guira or the gaita (traditional flute), wrapped in the bass of the marimbula, well brass with sax, trombone, and trumpet, and even a Peruvian cajon! With the desire to engage joyfully, Dédé intertwines the rhythms of chouval bwa, the kolokoto of carnival with cumbia and son cubano. The tones of Creole, the velvet of the Spanish language come to adorn covers of old songs and new releases with the great complicity of singer and composer Roberto Linares.
