Today, more than ever, he is the repository of that Caribbean soul that soothed him. This tropical soul is also a "family affair", the kind sung by the great names of soul and funk, starting with Sly Stone. It's a family affair that links him forever to his family, to the Caribbean, and to the artists and labels that have become his family and to whom he feels close. Let yourself be carried away by the rhythms of music from all over the world!
