Sonny Troupé, Quartet Add 4 - Evy Danse (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album "Evy danse" by Sonny Troupé marks the culmination of years of synthesizing the traditional Guadeloupean genre of Gwo ka with contemporary jazz and classical music. In addition to a standard jazz quartet, the project incorporates a string quartet, enabling the creation of a sophisticated and profound sonic palette. The work combines virtuoso improvisation, authentic Antillean rhythms of the ka drum, and the academic refinement of string arrangements. This release serves as both a cultural homage to Guadeloupe and a radical expansion of ethnic music boundaries through the lens of modern jazz.
