In March 2013, when Arendi posted "Tout est Permis" on his SoundCloud, Bouyon Gwada was still spreading through digital word-of-mouth. That date makes him one of the oldest active names from the first Guadeloupean wave, the 2011-2015 era, before Spotify became the main playing field. After a quieter stretch, he came back in 2017 with "Viniw" and "Holiday", two singles that clearly switched to Bouyon. But everything sped up in 2021: "Je l'ai vu" with HollyG and VJ Ben dropped a feature that opened the post-COVID cycle, the 2023 "Charles V Remix" extended the momentum, and "Mielleux" came out in 2026 with YSN and 6tresses. Eleven years after his debut, Arendi is still here.

Where to listen
March 2013: the trace that changes everything
When Arendi puts "Tout est Permis" online on his `arendirondo` SoundCloud in March 2013, he does not yet know he has just set down a date. Back then Bouyon Gwada travels from phone to phone , no Spotify, no Apple Music, just files circulating between friends. Several other titles follow straight after, and it is that trace which today makes Arendi one of the oldest living names of the first wave, the 2011-2015 one, when almost nothing was archived.
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. That geography counts: the mainstream New Bouyon Wave is concentrated on the northern axis, and he offers a different map. His restart arrives in 2017 with "Viniw" then "Holiday", two singles that commit to a clearer Bouyon direction than the SoundCloud era, and which the platforms will not let go of again.
2021: the post-COVID spark
The real turn is "Je l'ai vu" in 2021, with HollyG and VJ Ben. The single lands right in the window of the post-lockdown restart, the same moment that also sees "Hot Bouyon Riddim" come out. The "Charles V Remix" of 2023 gives the title a second life, then "Mielleux" arrives in 2026 with YSN and 6tresses. Eleven years after his first SoundCloud upload, Arendi is still in the conversation, and his titles still travel between the playlists of a new generation of listeners.
