With “Ben Fey Kowosol”, Guadeloupean artists Layko and Motsek continue the exploration that leads into the album Sové Vayan.
The track unfolds as a dialogue between Layko’s voice—both grounded and deeply inhabited—and Motsek’s sonic creation, rooted in the Guadeloupean folk music, dance, and cultural practice known as Gwo Ka and extended through an electronic texture that feels as organic as it is powerful.
The presence of flutist Magic Malik introduces a new breath. His playing, both free and precise, moves through the piece, shaping its contours with remarkable accuracy.
“Ben Fey Kowosol” by Motsek feat. Layko is out now on all streaming platforms.
