Liner Notes

Ever hospitable Guadeloupe served as the meeting ground between musicians: all of them grandsons of slaves, born far from their lands of origin, speaking different culturesÂ… Gwo-ka, ceremonial music, the sounds of rebellion, the melancholy, lyrical mornas of Cape Verde, jazz and Caribbean mountains music. David Murray lets the drums have free rein, the themes are rendered more freely.

The highlight of the meeting: a private conversation between David Murray, traveler in constant search of new sounds, and Gérard Lockel, native of Mahault Bay, who has dedicated his life to developing his special music, the gwo-ka modenn.
