It is your story.

Douvan douvan

What up doe,

I've been linking up with Tijo Aimé AKA Didier Firmin to build up this piece , Pioneer of the underground Dance and music culture for decades . We both come from the West indies ( Caribbean ) and wanted to tell a little Timeless story through this EP !

Guidance : an ode to the ones who came before us , to light up the path for the next ones

Pawol : in Kreyol it can mean "word " , "speech " ..

"Muntu" and "Tout moun sé moun" are words , a vision , that has been kept alive as an expression of humanity throughout Africa and the Caribbean for Ages .
Everyone is one .

Check out the video clip of Pawol on youtube Sisters and Brothers !

about
Hylode is the name of a frog that lives in the carribean ( in other areas as well ) . We recognize it by the specific sound it makes at night . If you grew up there you'll recognize it's lullaby , or you can discover it there .

Peul - the ethnic group of my father from west africa ( Senegal )
Sonjé sa - it can mean " think about it " in Kreyol
Mobilisasyon - Kreyol way to spell the word .

Hope y'all are doing positively , i'm happy to share this with you , for us .
