Dowdelin

France

Nomad and defector, Dowdelin explores a path where Creole jazz, electronic dancefloor and West Indian percussions come together to create a unique Future Kréol feeling. The Black Atlantic… Title of an important work by Paul Gilroy, English sociologist, theorizing the fact “that there is a hybrid culture, which is neither African, nor American, nor Caribbean, nor British, but all of these at once: the Black Atlantic.

A world of cultural exchanges and incessant back and forth, where music is central. A universe of multiple and reciprocal borrowings which, aesthetically, fits perfectly to Dowdelin, a trio from Lyon exploring Afro-futurism in its creolized version, immersing the traditions of the French West Indies in a great bath of electronic rejuvenation warmed up with jazz, as few have done so far.
