Hommage à Gilles Floro 22 juin 1999 Chanteur, clavériste, auteur et compositeur, il naît d'un père violoniste le 18 avril 1964 à Saint-Claude en Guadeloupe, l'une des contrées musicalement les plus stimulantes des Antilles . Ses talents s'exercent dès son jeune âge. a quatorze ans, il constitue le groupe JazzPower avec son frère aîné Jean-Claude. Après avoir joué du piano avec différents groupes- certains mythiques -L'express Band, Les Aiglons , Pakala et les Vikings notamment, il devient, vers le milieu des années 80, l'un des musiciens de studio les plus sollicités. Ses premiers disques sous son nom, enregistrés entre 1986 et 1988 (Rêve bleu, le tube A pa pawol an lè et Diaman d'Eb en) remportent un succès immédiat et lui ouvrent les portes de toute la diaspora antillaise. 
Les albums s'enchaîneront désormais à une cadence régulière (Absence, kanel, Frékans', Jukebox, Fifty Fifty, Surround, S'Kiss , Sans Prévenir ), avec un zouk novateur , richement harmonisé et débordant de sensualité, dont Gilles Floro devient l'un des fers de lance. Jazz, funk, reggae, salsa, dance, tout stimule son inventivité, avec un swing toujours irrésistible et un style en perpétuelle évolution.
Les paroles de ses chansons se nourissent elles aussi de ses multiples expériences; tous les thèmes sont abordés: solitude (tou sel), tristesse (pawol), paix (compren), tendresse (Kalin, Complice), spiritualité (Pawol, Spiritual), rêves (Utopie), amour de la mer (Fifty Fifty) ou de sa fille Taïna (Mon Soleil ). 
Le 21 juillet 1999, un gigantesque concert intitulé "Quarante tambours contre le son de la violence" réunissant plus d'une centaine d'amis musiciens et danseurs est organisé à sa mémoire dans les jardins de l'Archipel, à Basse-Terre, et Désolé , son album posthume sortait trois mois plus tard.
Gilles nous a quitté le 22 juin 1999 à l'âge de 36 ans en réparant la toiture de sa maison.

Les Aiglons - Le cerveau

For its seventh offering, Sol Power Sound taps into the pulse of the French Antilles for Tambours de Martinique, a blistering EP of original and remixed versions of rare, drum-centric dance floor workouts. Licensed directly from the legendary Martiniquan label Hibiscus Records, the EP features cuts by Eugène Mona and Max Ransay, two of Martinique’s most storied musicians. With reworks by Spanish DJ and producer Kiko Navarro and the Sol Power All-Stars, this one will be in the record bags of discerning DJs all summer long.

The A side features ‘Lizo’ by Eugène Mona, an essential figure in the folkloric music of Martinique based on the bamboo flute, bèlè drums, and the island's specific variant of Antillean creole.  Lizo was originally released in 1990 on Mona’s Blanc Mangé Blan Manjé? LP and is anchored by frenetic percussion, a driving bassline, and house-evocative key stabs. Mona's flute kicks off the tune which then jumps right into a call-and response vocal barrage. In the lyrics, Mona warns a local political figure to watch his back because he's surrounded by an untrustworthy crew. Kiko Navarro’s remix takes an already dynamic cut to deep Afro-space with thumping drums and a bubbling synth-bass groove that will put dancers through their paces.

With its powerful combo of urgent brass and ensemble vocals, Max Ransay’s 1988 recording of the traditional Martiniquan folk song ‘Ti Kanno’ fills the B-side. 'Ti Kanno' was previously recorded by Ti Émile, Ransay and Mona’s legendary forebear. Full of surprises, Ransay's version is a sonic melting pot of hand percussion, horns, unexpected synth lines, and bass. The Sol Power All-Stars edit fills out the low-end thump and teases out the groove for maximum impact.

Deep sounds inspired by planet earth. We connect the beats from Cuban roots to the beaches of Rio to the discos of Lagos to the warehouses of Detroit and Chicago. Three obsessive crate diggers and veteran party rockers team up with a master percussionist to destroy dance floors and press records that move them.
