Chinal Ka 1973 – 1995 – Erick Cosaque, 2019

🇬🇵 🎤 🎷 🌟 🔄 Once again, the label Heavently Sweetness orchestrates this rich anthology dedicated to Erick Cosaque. Released in 2019, Chinal Ka compiles the recordings of the Guadeloupean ka master and singer from 1973 to 1995. It traces the evolution of this pioneer, who confronted the traditions of ka with modern influences from jazz, funk, zouk, and rap. From the Voltages 8 era to his X7 Nouvelles Dimensions project, his work embodies a constant renewal towards a more modern gwoka, enriched by his musical encounters. Through his songs, Erick Cosaque embodies créolité—a plural and cohesive universe where memory, resistance, and celebration intersect, without conforming to existing trends. A collection both enjoyable and enlightening, not to be missed.
