Delgres

Delgres sing in creole about the blues, exile and modern slavery, while the sound of the guitars, the rhythms of the drums and the blasts of the sousaphone become sounding boards for hopes and despair. After a nomination at the 2019 Victoires de la Musique and more than 300 concert dates around the world, the power trio is celebrating its comeback with the album 4:00 AM. Four o’clock in the morning, wake-up time for so many workers. For it is the everyday heroes and underdogs that the band celebrates on this album. Two hundred years after the death of the Antillean anti-slavery leader Louis Delgrès, his spiritual sons continue the struggle of the oppressed to the rhythm of a feverish, engaging and unifying groove.
