Episode 142: Lespri Ka
12:00pm, 4-24-2022
<< Tropicology
Today’s theme will be a full show dedicated to spiritual sounds from the French West Indies: Haiti, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. Rootsy African sounds from the French Caribbean have been the most recent new style added to the Tropicology playlist… I’ve only been covering these sounds for a couple years. Today I’ll be playing two hours of these sounds, the first time I’ve dedicated a full show to this genre. We’ll hear rootsy sounds in the first set, followed by sounds with a more spiritual vibe. The second hour focuses on modern fusion music showing influences of jazz, funk, and soul. Two hours of spiritual music from the French Caribbean today; a sonic beignet for your creole soul.
