Listen: Poly-Ritmo’s Disques Debs

A journey through Henry Deb's Disques Debs.

‍"Disques Debs was set up by Henry Debs in the late '50s and ran to the early 2000s, and it was one of the first labels to distribute music from the Antilles to France, and also played a pivotal role in bringing music from Guadalupe and Martinique to an international audience".

Curator, DJ and radio host Poly-Ritmo explores the discography of Disques Debs – " the longest running and most prolific record label from Guadalupe" – in this latest listening session from Devon Turnbull's Listening Room at 180 Studios.

Working through music from the label's legendary back catalogue across the '70s, '80s and early '90s, Poly-Ritmo shares special gems from her collection alongside telling the story of the label and Henry Debs' essential work.
