Her "karibfutursound" fuses traditional Gwoka rhythms with rich influences of soul,
jazz, amapiano, and electronic music feat. Roger Raspail, with arrangements by David
Walters.
In the ever-evolving musical universe, a voice emerges, carrying echoes of a rich past
and the promises of a bold future. Celia Wa, the talented Guadeloupean artist, offers
us "Fasade," her debut album, a sonic odyssey transcending borders and eras.
Featuring Xavier Belin's keyboards and Kristof Negrit's drums. Adding to the trio is
David Walters, whom Celia accompanied on the concert circuit for a long time,
contributing with his compositions and arrangements. Together, they create a sound
that travels far beyond the Caribbean borders.
Infused with all that musically nourishes her Guadeloupe, her heart beating like a
gwoka drum, invigorated by Roger Raspail's thunderous percussion, and rocked by
Kingston's laid-back reggae, Celia surpasses the limits of the Caribbean arc alone. She
braves an ocean of irreversible journeys to connect with Senegal and Ousmane
Kouyate's kora, and further east to Nigeria and Owomide's song. Reconnecting with
common roots and pasts, blending differences into a formula that fosters natural
exchange and mutual contribution.
Above all, music must liberate bodies and minds, even the most marked. It serves as
an outlet for the darkest moments, leaving them far behind. And it makes us dance.
