Who Arendi is · Read the full story · Frequently asked questions
July 2012: Arendi puts "Pété Tête Aw" online on his SoundCloud and picks the Bouyon label himself. "Boisson" follows in August and "Mais Franchmen" in September, then "Tout est Permis" in February 2013. Bouyon Gwada travels from phone to phone at the time, and those dates make him one of the oldest still-active names of the first wave.
He does not stop after 2013: "Frotéy" on Vadore Concept's The Bouyon Remix mixtape in 2014, "En Route" in 2015, "Gadéw" in 2017. In 2020, "Rété Akaz aw" comes out on a Boutcha Bwa Production composition, and "Sa Pété" runs on the Hot Sauce Riddim. On 22 October 2021, "Je l'ai vu" with HollyG comes out in the Bouyon Kings Mixtape series, co-produced by Vadore Concept, and passes 15 million views. He also touches dancehall, drill and afrobeat, but bouyon stays his thread.
Summer 2012: the trace that changes everything
July 2012. Arendi puts "Pété Tête Aw" online on his `arendirondo` SoundCloud, and in the genre box he writes Bouyon himself. "Boisson" follows in August, "Mais Franchmen" in September, then "Tout est Permis" comes out in February 2013, with the word Bouyon in the title. Back then Bouyon Gwada travels from phone to phone, no Spotify, just files circulating between friends. Those dates make Arendi one of the oldest still-active names of the first wave.
Gourbeyre, the other Guadeloupe
While Pointe-à-Pitre and Les Abymes feed the platform machine of Bouyon, Arendi comes from Gourbeyre, on the Basse-Terre side. He also touches dancehall, drill and afrobeat, but he never lets go of bouyon. "Frotéy" lands on Vadore Concept's The Bouyon Remix mixtape in 2014, "En Route" comes out in 2015, "Gadéw" in 2017. In 2020, "Rété Akaz aw", on a Boutcha Bwa Production composition, passes a million views.
2021: Je l'ai vu
On 22 October 2021, "Je l'ai vu" with HollyG comes out in the Bouyon Kings Mixtape series, co-produced by Vadore Concept. The video passes 15 million views. The 2023 "Charles V Remix", with VJ Ben, gives it a second life, and the same year Arendi lays down "Rachelle" on DJ Dirtee's Sirène Riddim. More than ten years after his first SoundCloud upload, he is still in the conversation.
