The follow up to their 2016 LP, one of our favourite reissues last year, features traditional créole sounds merging with disco, afro-beat, and Brazilian Latin, topped off with eighties synth and drum machine effects.

Digital Zandoli 2 includes classic zouk tracks from Champagn’ and Michel Alibo alongside lesser-known hybrid songs like ‘Ban Di Fwan’ by Coco Fabert and ‘Wach’Da’s ‘Star de la Rue’.
