Nocturne

Dating back to his first releases - some of which appeared on Gotan Project's Ya Basta! record label - David Walters has affirmed and reinvented his Afro-Caribbean musical ancestry, transforming this rich heritage into the foundations of his distinctive musical voice - reinterpreting, for example to "Mesi Bon Dy" by the seminal Haitian composer Frantz Casseus for the label in the early 2000s.* While more than a decade later, Walters visited New Orleans for the "Nola is Calling" project that united musicians from the US, Benin and France.*In a cultural moment where the era's best music is characterised by multicultural, polyglot origins and focus on Black identity and culture, "Nocturne" provides a welcome French - or Martinican Creole - perspective. Because of the music's innovative, fully immersive nature "Nocturne" will appeal to a wide range of listeners curious to engage with music that while deeply personal resonates widely. "Nocturne" is a profoundly moving and intimate listen: a new kind of folk music, with a French/Afro-Caribbean accent, that is modern and ancient at the same time.
