an island story : biguine, Afro Latin & musique Antillaise, 1960-1972

"Compiled by Hugo Mendez, co-founder of the globe-trotting Sofrito record label, and Emile Omar, DJ at Paris' Radio Nova, Disques Debs collects works from the Guadeloupe label's first decade-plus of existence starting in the late '50s. The styles range from early biguine and bolero to zouk and reggae, and the artists include big band orchestras, local fixtures, touring bands and younger cats that would experience greater success in the years to come. Even the bigger, brassier tracks here retain a nightclub intimacy, likely due to the fact that early releases were recorded in the back of label founder Henri Debs' shop in Pointe-a-Pitre"--Adapted from Passion of the Weiss review online (accessed July 18, 2018)
