Greetingz every body & soul!
We are back with some fresh tropical edit for your summer
This time we're taking you on a proper trip to a special place and time : Gwada 1992, with reworks from two of our old school Zouk favorites!

The First track is a re-edit from Alain Malespine's retro zouk classic "Lésé woulé", released in 1992 on the legendary Label Debs music, biggest exporter of french caribean musical gems since the 1959 until today, just slightly and humbly dubbed and modernised.

Same year, same paradise island, The second edit is a rework from the sweet Zouk Love song "Trop pressyon" by Chantal Djill Rhinan, from her album "Tendress" recorded with musicians from the legendary guadeloupe band (and Zouk originator) Kassav', with honey keyboard melodies and vocal harmonies from Jean claude Naimro and Jean Paul Marthely, today slightly refreshed for 2024 dancefloors by Kazdi Koba !

Free Download as usual ... Enjoy and share it share share it!

Greetingz every body & soul !
It's been about a year since the first edition, today we are delighted to bring our fresh Koraï Edits Vol.2 to the world !

For this second round of edits, Kactus Koraï is taking you on a journey to the caribbeans, from the infectious rythms of trinidadian soca, to the mystic sound of the Jamaican Rastafarians .

The first song is a rework of the Soul calyspo classic " Let yourself go " , originally recorded in 1980 by the godfather of calypso Richard "Nappy" mayers is a Soca party song, with heavy basslines, fire steel drums and sweet melodies, refreshed in a modern way making it a perfect dancefloor banger !

The second edit is a tribute to the jamaican roots of modern bass music, with a heavy mystic hypnotic Rastafarian chant ( Nyabinghi ) by the king of the genre , Dadawah aka Ras Michael in 1974, slightly revisited and remastered almost 50 years later for the pleasure of your ears and soul ...

" A 90s Pop classic revisited in Reggae Jungle Style... "
With this new release, we're going back to foundation styles with our brother and 20 years music comrade the super talented singer Lighta D from France.
The song is a cover from the Whitney Houston's classic "My love is your love " on a jungle version of the " Hello Mama Africa" classic reggae Riddim by Kazdi Koba .

Lighta D is a french reggae / pop singer with a unique voice, and large influences from Carribean music, 90s music, and french pop. After his musical debuts in the early 2000s with his first team Krew Faya, Lighta D teamed up with Massawa sound , before being one of the pilars of R2G aka Rouen2ground. After many crew & solo projects and many collaborations with other crews and singers, a few bangers are in the oven with Kactus Koraï so stay tuned and get ready !
