Guadeloupeen Paris-based artist Samuel Laviso and his first solo project, "Anti Trophy", a self-determination that brings faith in your sixth sense in today's life. 
The title ''ANTY TROPHY'' confirms the death of Gerard Lockel, who closely guided the artist in his childhood and in his foundations.
For 5 years, Samuel has been putting his polyrhythmic science, learnt from his father, behind the Kenny Garrett Quintet. Perpetuating the gwo ka evolution through kako music reflecting the late 90's and early 2000's era of the generation of Guadeloupean dance hall artists defining their local traditional colour internationally. 
His father, Gudaplupian guitarist Christian Laviso, formed the Laviso Trio, Horizon and Simen Kontra, an inspiring example and essential link in the history of GWO KA.
At the age of 19, after being accepted to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, for the undergraduate fall semester, Samuel attended the program and ended up touring worldwide as a drummer for over 5 years with one of the top five saxophonists in the world, Kenny Garret, as well as arranging and collaborating on several releases between 2016 and 2021, and touring worldwide with Kamaal William from 2021 to 2023.

Audiophile party hosted by @cedricwoo, @belle-bete and Jeremy Gilbert since 2005. 

"Deep dance music with a psychedelic soul."
