Dowdelin explores as a tireless ever moving trailbazer a path where Creole jazz, electronic dancefloor sounds and Caribbean percussions come together to create a unique Future Kréol feeling.
The Black Atlantic, title of an important work by Paul Gilroy, an English sociologist, states the theory that “there is a hybrid culture, which is neither African, nor American, nor Caribbean, nor British, but all that at the same time: the black Atlantic. ”

«Tchenbé !» Dowdelin’s New Therapeutic Album
This new, deeply introspective opus addresses the personal and emotional challenges that we all encounter at one point or another in our lives. Dowdelin explores the themes of depression, the ups and downs of life and resilience served by Caribbean sounds, texts in Creole, French, English, at the confluence of jazz, electronic music or even the most percussive soul.
“Something is happening and maybe that’s Afrofuturism in 2025” FRANCE INTER
“A therapeutic album which reveals with the fusion of rock, Afrobeat and synthetics, the ecstasy of a universal and contemporary groove with irresistible melodies.” FIP
“In the spirit of Africa with that European touch brilliant group from France !” BBC 6 Gilles Peterson

Fresh off a nomination at Les Victoires du Jazz for their album “Lanmou Lanmou” released last January with Underdog Records, Dowdelin returns with a new 3-track EP named “Péké Viré” which can be translated as “We won’t look back”.This is indeed a departure as the band, as per usual with each new release, redefines itself, or rather develops/extends its enjoyable mix of cultures and influences to reach uncharted musical landscapes/universes.

No spot in music is immovable. No music can sit still but it’s hardly ver as true as it is for Dowdelin, a band that can’t be tied down to a single geography and genealogy. The creole language, Caribbean rhythms, urban energies, dazzling virtuosity, sensual electro: The group evolves in a unique place where genres and colors, heritage and audacity can merge.
