claude rodap: beletronic

Other-worldly Caribbean electronic dance floor cuts. Arousing prog-zouk and abstract futurism from the French West Indies, by synthesist Claude Rodap, released on vinyl for the first time. In the early eighties, a time where French Caribbean musicians were searching for their own sound, Claude Rodap mixed traditional gwo-ka, bel air, biguine with synthetic sounds, resulting in magical, adventurous outcome. Recorded in the nineties and in 2000, the three dreamy, sensuous tracks on Beletronic are the deliberate result of more than a decade of his experimentation.
