CELIA WA Vinilo y CD

Review: Guadeloupean artist Celia Wa's debut album Fasade is a sonic journey that transcends borders and time while carrying echoes of a rich past and the promise of a bold future. The path to Fasade has been preceded by three fine EPs and more so than ever here, Celia's determination and powerful Creole identity shine through. With raw emotion and powerful interpretation, she conveys stories in Creole, overcoming pain and anger to emerge resilient. Joined by Xavier Belin, Kristof Negri, and David Walters, they create a sound that blends Caribbean rhythms with global rhythms and urge soulful liberation and full-body movement.
