about

The song of a young Caribbean poet who finds metaphors and synchronicities all around him and becomes almost esoteric. "Roulo" refers to a game played by teenagers in Martinique when bathing in the sea. A kind of capoeira style wrestling consisting in rolling ("roulo") and kicking the opponent while their bodies are half-submerged. A true fight of avoidance more akin to a dance. The poet sees this as a way of being strong together - "Many discordant ways do not make a path". The lyrics are a beautiful mix of surrealistic and mystical Creole expressions.
