Gwakasonne Vwayage LP Vinyl

Double vinyl LP pressing. Gwakasonn? is the ecstatic articulation of Robert Oumaou's artistic and political vision, a unified expression of his interests in American jazz, pre-colonial rhythms, Guadeloupian independence, and Cr?ole poetics. Over the course of three albums, all released in the '80s, Robert piloted a revolving cast of musicians, a venerable who's-who of Point-a-Pitre avant-jazz pioneers, to deftly intone his creative communal concepts. The songs on Vwayaj? are compiled from these three releases, Gwakasonn?, Temwen, and Moun, along with an electronic mantra taken from his 2007 solo album Sang Comment Taire.
