david walters: soleil kréyol
Via Heavenly Sweetness, the globetrotter David Walters drops one of the essential albums for 2020. Soleil Kréyol is a meeting point that allows Africa, America, Europe, and the Caribbean to converse with each other using a language as universal as music, dance, carnivals, or ceremonies. The starting point is New York City, from which Walters set the scene for his new project, sonically reaching a point of convergence where different creole cultures are represented.
With the close collaboration of Bruno ‘Patchworks’ Hovart, plus an immense baggage of travelling around the world, Soleil Kréyol is indebted to the state of mind and aesthetics that reigned in the ‘70s and ‘80s. On 11 tracks we are invited let ourselves go with Walters extraordinary music culture. Creole Soul. Two words are enough to qualify the brilliant project, crossing oceans and continents, now available in vinyl.
