Started by drummer and percussionist Sonny Troupé, the Guadeloupean "super-group" Nouvo Lokans transcends generations and breaks with traditional gwoka codes.
Nouvo Lokans brings together the younger generation of Guadeloupean musicians (Sonny Troupé, Arnaud Dolmen, Sylvain Joseph) with iconic "elders" Christian Laviso and Mano Falla.
Together, they revisit the tradition of Gwo ka, a Guadeloupean music with its origins in the perpetuation of African music by slaves on the old 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, a free and explosive jazz is unleashed, supporting trance, sometimes touching on free music, insinuating itself into the meanders of an ever freer and more modern Gwo ka.
