Max Rambhojan – Tou’t Jou Pa Min’m (1985)
Summer jam from Guadeloupe. Damn i miss summer.
https://hotmule.bandcamp.com/album/max-rambhojan
Guadeloupe, 1986. The football World Cup has all the islanders' eyes riveted to their TV sets. At every half time breaks, local TV channel RFO broadcasts a music video on repeat: ‘’Tou’t Jou Pa Min’m". Max Rambhojan, the local singer responsible for this monster tune, has arrived.
In the video, he effortlessly sings and kickstarts a joyous street party with his band, Show Man, his dancers, kids, friends, family and what seems like the whole neighbourhood. The song will gain cult status from then on, cementing the power of the 'Zouk Chiré' sound, a high tempo version of Zouk highly influenced by Guadeloupe's Carnival mass drum bands. Max self-releases his first solo album on vinyl in 1985, enrolling some of the best musicians the scene has to offer : his band leader King Klero, Guy Jacquet of les Vikings de la Guadeloupe fame on production duties, Ramon Pyrmée on synths, Claude Vamur, Meliza…
In 1992 a new solo album follows. By then the artists have familiarized themselves with computers and the sound has gone full-on digital. In that album Max records an updated version of his ’Tou’t Jou Pa Min’m’ anthem to great effect.
Reducing Max Rambhojan to a zouk artist would be a mistake. He’s first and foremost a master of Gwo-Ka, a musical practice born during the transatlantic slave trade and performed by all ethnic and religious groups of Guadeloupe. Gwo Ka allowed slaves to communicate, cope with their situation, mock the colonizers and maintain a cultural link with their African origins. It has never ceased to exist and has become a major part of the Island folk music culture. Max Rambhojan was schooled as a kid by Gwo-Ka pioneer Guy Conquette, and quickly joined the backing band of another legend, Ti-Sélès. That sound is the root of his particular style, especially vibrant on two tracks in his repertoire: ‘Cecilia’ and ‘On Jou Matin’, both featured on this release's b-side. A touch of Spiritual Jazz is also palpable, allowing a magical vibe to spread, giving birth to some of the finest music from this era.
In 2019, Max still performs Gwo-Ka every week-end in Guadeloupe and also hosts a show on local radio Media Tropical, 88.1FM.
Hot Mule and Secousse are proud to present those 4 lost gems on wax and digital, fully licensed, carefully restored and remastered.

Hello there!
I've recently finished recording and producing an album entitled "Music For An Italian Afternoon" ~ An album composed and arranged entirely by myself and featuring some pretty heavy Sydney jazz cats as well as a few members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra on strings.
This album draws its inspiration from Italian film composers of the 70's (Stelvio Cipriani, Piero Umiliani, and Pierro Piccione to name a few..) as well as some of the KPM Musichouse catalogue, and was composed in the framework of being a soundtrack to a film thats been lost to the ages (the film being the mythical An Italian Afternoon).
I'm playing Rhodes across the album, though the album itself is not composed to be solely a "Rhodes" album, nor a purist jazz album, and more an exploration of composition best enjoyed with Aperol Spritz somewhere along the Amalfi coastline..
All songs composed & arranged by Sinj Clarke
Rhodes, Synthesisers, Organ - Sinj Clarke
Saxophone - Billy Ward
Flute - Clara Pitt
Guitar - Andy Campbell
Bass - Sam Clayton
Drums - Hugh Deacon
Percussion - Joseph Ireland
Violin - Isabel Tzorbatzaki
Cello - Chris Pidcock
Double Bass - Ben Ward
Recorded @ Linear Studios and Rolodex Sound by Nick Franklin & Matt Stewart
Mixed & Mastered by Gary Dryza @ Noodle Studios, Marrickville
