'These are all Gwoka records from Guadeloupe, the percussion style of music that originated on the island from the slaves that were brought from Africa. Gwoka traditionnel, which has recently been recognized by Unesco, has seven recognized and codified rhythms on which the percussionists and singer improvise freely.

All were recorded between 1979 and 1991, and are some examples of how some groups and artists at the time, though rooted in traditional Gwoka, were keen to expand and experiment with hybridizing the music, introducing new instruments like a synth, drum machine, guitar, saxophone etc. Their styles vary widely but can broadly be grouped under the 'Gwoka Moderne' bracket.

My dad's been living in Guadeloupe for 25+ years, hence my interest in this music. Most of these tracks are actually on my YT channel.

The next Time Capsule release, Lèspri ka, will focus on this particular genre (the Selekta Ka track will be part of the comp)."
