KTK79: LES BALLETS MARTINIQUAIS: BELLE MARTINIQUE NOUS A!


Ladies & gentlemen, today is mardi gras! What a great opportunity to celebreate with some French Caribbean carnival music...

This month, we'll enjoy various styles in the same "party" mood: a steal band, some late 70's biguine with various influences and today a big ensemble featuring 20 dancers and 10 musicians and singers with LES BALLETS MARTINIQUAIS: BELLE MARTINIQUE NOUS A! (Desse DDLX186 from 1980).


In the 60's and 70's Les Ballets Martiniquais have left their islands to travel the world and promote their culture all around, they been awarded many times for their show. This time they made a stop in Paris for an amazing studio recording that keep all their live energy. This record is an explosion of joy and happiness mixed with sunshine! An heavy rythm section, some subtle trumpets and clarinets... Some instrumental parts and also lots of vocalists singing in  delicious Kreyol a mix of songs from the folklore and some furious carnival hits at the end of this Lp...




Get some rhum, a lime or two, some cane sugar
and call some friends, it's party time!
See you next week.
