about

Gratien Midonet's second album from 1980

Following on from the success of his debut album, Midonet pursued a similar though less naive path for the rest of his career, now intentionally aiming to mix up genres and sensibilities. This album confirmed the uniqueness of Midonet’s world. Between the tropical acid folk of M’en ka Monté Mon and Roulo, the mystical and majestic sounds of Kannaval Sakré Pou Tout Z’Heb Poussé (featuring Maurice Lagier on violin), and the cosmic reggae jazz of Apré Lanmess Cé Yèp, the album flowed effortlessly, cementing the artist’s status as a true original.

Fully remastered digital only release. A selection of the above tracks are included on the double vinyl compilation of Gratien Midonet's work, A Cosmic Poet from Martinique 1979 - 1989.
