POP-KA is more than just a musical concept; it is a true revolution centered around the roots of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

Using the drums of the slaves, known as “Nèg-Mawon,” and Kalina shells (Caribbean),

trumpeter and shell player Franck Nicolas has found the perfect alchemy combining jazz, ka, and conch shells. He called this new style of music Jazz-Ka in 2002 in NEW YORK. To touch as many hearts and souls as possible, jazz-ka (instrumental music) acquired a voice and became POP-KA. With the exceptional voice of young Ydriss Bonalair, the virtuoso piano of Mario Canonge, and the two “Ka drums” with their stratospheric groove by Dominique

Tauliaut & Gregory Jean-François, “POP KA 2” invites you on a new kind of dreamlike, spatial, and futuristic journey beyond imagination...
