Les Fyjap's - Tumbélé À La Bananeraie

Review by La Vie en Chrome

Tumbélé À La Bananeraie by Les Fyjap's is a lively and vibrant album that showcases the unique sound of Martinique's Tumbélé music. The album features a mix of traditional and modern Tumbélé songs, all infused with the infectious rhythms and melodies of the Caribbean.

The album kicks off with the upbeat "Nou Ka Sonjé" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs are all sung in Creole and feature a range of instruments including drums, saxophone, and accordion. The production is top-notch, with each instrument being given its own space to shine.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Banan' La", a catchy and danceable tune that will have listeners tapping their feet and swaying their hips. Another highlight is "Misié Ola", a slower, more contemplative song that showcases the emotional depth of Tumbélé music.
