It ’s
been a little more than a decade since Levitasyon climbed to the top of
the world music scene with their debut album Nous Ka Woule.
Led by Levi “Super L” Loblack, a seasoned musician who has a number of
awards to his name including “Best Male Vocalist of the Year (Dominica),
the group formed in 1996 with an aim to bring to the mainstream the uplifting
and energizing rhythms of Zouk & Kompa popular to the French-Creole speaking
Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Lucia, Martinique & Haiti.
The groups original members include Paula Letang and Bruce Skerrit. Since
the bands inception, they have produced two CDs, and one single and have
had the opportunity to work with an impressive array of singers and musicians,
Lucy Hamlet, Hermina George & Ermithe Fertil, who have all work with them
during various live performances.
They have performed at numerous festivals, including the World Creole
Music Festival on the Nature Island of Dominica, and opened for well known
Kompa bands, including T-Vice & Carimi.
Their latest CD, whose title is still unamed, will be making its debut
soon. The music promises to bring to the forefront tracks that will entrice
and garner wide cross-over appeal.
With many of their hit songs, which include “Millo”, “Chale”, & “Mesaj
An Boutey” an Urban Award nominated song, still dominating radio airwaves
around the world, Levitasyon’s discography is an essential addition to
any music lover’s library.
