They bring a unique mix of Biguine, funk, Latin, Compas and early Zouk.Camille Soprann, who founded the band with guitarist Guy Jacquet and bassist Pierre-Edouard Dcimus, personally selected this compilation from the Vikings vast discography of about 20 albums, starting in 1967. They obviously inherited a lot from \"roots music\" (Gwo Ka), jazz and the beguine that had been played on the island since the late 19th century, and of which they give a dazzlingly modern version on \"Tou Touni\". Their music is buffeted by the artistic winds that were sweeping the Caribbean: \"Rumbo Melon\" is influenced by Latin music; \"Assez Pal\" is a cover of a number by the great Haitian saxophonist and composer Nemours Jean Baptiste, who is often presented as the inventor of kompa; and \"Ambiance\" offers a new take on \"Guhe Huiamo\" by the Ivory Coast singer Amde Pierre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56440263704950,"sku":"3521383436790","price":15.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_1544393_0.jpg?v=1760379176","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/3521383436790-enko-on-ti-tou-best-of-les-vikings-de-la-guadeloupe-1966-2016","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
