« Evé pasyans ou ka vwè tété a foumi ».(1)
We were waiting for them… Here they are !
Willy Salzedo, Olivier Jean-Alphonse, Stéphane Castry and Jérôme Castry, four friends, united by their love of music, are about to tell us in chorus about Love, Culture, Sorrows and Stories of a people : the Caribbean people.
Since 1995, in “Mi”, (a Tanya Saint-Val album), Willy Salzedo has experienced the mixing of acoustic guitar with a specific drum from the Caribbean, the ka, while Tanya Saint-Val was singing committed texts.
During five years, without failing, the four friends worked on traditional music to give birth to Moun Karayib. Their exceptional compositions are carried by Olivier’s wonderful voice, full of emotion, Stephane’s rythmic bass and double bass, Willy’s harmonies on piano and guitar and Jérôme’s thundering percussions.
In 2003, the quartet forms and travels through France. Laurent Voulzy notably invited them to the “Nuits de Champagne”, a musical festival in Troyes, the same year. In love with their islands, bound to their values, Moun Karayib use their legacy to convey messages. The sound of ka, the flavour of zouk, the authenticity of beguine, and the soul of jazz constantly inspire them. The band take their audience to swinging tunes and propose a cultural trip through times.
Thanks to them, we can discover again the sounds of custom and contribute to have it recognized all over the world.
Today, Moun Karayib offer a music full of identity and a tribute to the acknowledgement of their roots.
