Pre-order Roland Brival's album 'Créole Gypsy' 😍 #vinyl #jazzalbum #spiritualjazz #80s #martinique

Créole Gypsy the 1980 debut album by Martinique-born Roland Brival, has long circulated as a collector’s gem. This reissue places Brival firmly back into conversations about Caribbean jazz and the continuing story of African diaspora sound. Roland Brival has lived multiple creative lives, worlds without boundaries shaped through music, writing, and painting. His artistic journey spans theatre, literature, visual arts, and sound, guided by a restless need to tell stories that had little space within metropolitan French narratives. The album was recorded with a group of Martinique’s top musicians, and combining the bèlè and carnival percussion traditions of the island with free-flowing saxophone, rhodes flourishes and languorous bass, the album was rejected by Roland’s label of the time, and was ultimately self released in miniscule quantities to a small local audience.
