Our Take

Ah, Chouk Bwa & The Angstromers, the enigmatic fusion of traditional Haitian roots music and futuristic electronic beats. Somantiin, their latest offering, is a wild ride through a sonic landscape that is both ancient and avant-garde.

From the moment the pulsating rhythms of the title track kick in, you know you're in for something special. The hypnotic chants of the band's vocalists drift in and out, transporting you to a far-off world where time seems to stand still.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each element carefully layered to create a rich tapestry of sound. The Angstromers truly shine in their ability to blend traditional acoustic instruments with synthetic beats, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and deeply rooted in tradition.

Standout tracks like "Gede Nibo" and "Move Your Body" will have you dancing in your seat, while slower, more introspective songs like "Legba Na Konsole" invite quiet contemplation.

Overall, Somantiin is a triumph of experimentation and tradition, a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Chouk Bwa & The Angstromers take you on a journey unlike any other. Trust me, you won't regret it.
