Track List
Reissue of the 1988 zouk album Pa Flipé by Odissey.
Check the stand out songs : "Viré Love" & "Songe"
Odissey is a group formed by the Adams brothers (Pascal and Richie), born in Paris to a mother from Guadeloupe and a father from Martinique. At the time, Pascal was a DJ and radio presenter and Richard was a guitarist, both being trained singers. They had been making demo's for some time when one day they met Jolème Narayadou who was a well-known producer in the country, specialized in charming music who wanted to produce something other than slow and bolero (very popular music at the time). The three ventured in the studio and this resulted in the album Pa flipé (which is a Creole expression which means don't be afraid).
The tune Marie Hélène was a hit and is one of the great successes of Zouk in Martinique. The song is about a man in love with an Indian girl and takes place in Martinique, a small island in the French West Indies which saw the birth of Aimé Césaire but also Jean-Philippe Marthély, Jocelyne Béroard, Jean-Claude Naimro from the Kassav group, the legendary band which was born in Guadeloupe and which has toured the world multiple times.

DJやラジオパーソナリティとしても活動するパスカルと、ギタリストのリッチーのアダムス兄弟によって結成されたグループOdisseyの1988年唯一作が2023年初再発。当時スローやボレロが主流の中、プロデューサーJolème Narayadouとの出会いから生まれた本作。当時マルティニーク島で大ヒットを記録した、マルティニーク島を舞台にインド系の女性に恋する男性を描いたズーク名曲「Marie Hélène」(sample2)を収録。カリブの風に乗った軽快なリズムに、ヤマハDX7を駆使した様々な冒険と遊びが楽しい推薦盤。 (足立)
