Initiated by drummer and percussionist Sonny Troupé, the Guadeloupean ‘super-group’ Nouvo Lokans transcends generations and challenges the traditional codes of Gwo Ka.
Nouvo Lokans combines the young generation of Guadeloupean musicians (Sonny Troupé, Arnaud Dolmen, Sylvain Joseph) with the iconic ‘elders’ Christian Laviso and Mano Falla. Together, they revisit the tradition
of Gwo ka, Guadeloupean music that originated in the perpetuation of African music by the slaves of the former plantations, and now listed by Unesco as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
Around the ka (the traditional percussion) and the powerful voices of Zagalo and Jean-Pierre Coquerel, an explosion of free jazz is unleashed, supporting trance, sometimes touching on free music, insinuating itself into the meanders of an ever freer and more modern musical style.
