LaRose
2019, LaRose rides "Ti KoKa" with Bilix, VJ Ben and Edday — his entry into the Bouyon Gwada relaunch. Three years later, he follows up with "I Like Woman" in 2022 (Edday, Kevni, Reo). His catalog spans six years and gradually shifts toward the New Bouyon Wave: in 2024, "Gwadloup cho" with Aknose, Kevni and a whole collective, then "Lè an pa siw ou si mwen" direct with Aknose. In 2025, "Call Me" with DJ Luchshiy locks him into today's NBW. A clear bridge between the relaunch and the new wave.

Why this profile matters
LaRose is a regular collaborator of the Bouyon Gwada scene — first close to Bilix, Kevni and Edday during the 2016-2022 relaunch, then to Aknose and DJ Luchshiy in the New Bouyon Wave. His 2019-2025 catalog holds five releases showing the continuity: "Ti KoKa" 2019 (Bilix, VJ Ben, Edday), "I Like Woman" 2022 (Edday, Kevni, Reo), "Gwadloup cho" 2024 (Aknose, Kevni, wider collective), "Lè an pa siw ou si mwen" 2024 (Aknose), and "Call Me" 2025 (DJ Luchshiy). Bilix's Shazam profile keeps him in the similar catalog — a network proximity signal. His profile speaks of a universe rooted in the Bouyon movement, without discographic proof that's 100% Bouyon — LaRose stays an active collaborator of the genre, not an established historical name.

Profiles linked by musical collaboration
BI
Bouyon artist
Bilix
Bilix — real name Franck Offranc, born 1988 in Anse-Bertrand — discovered music as a child through the Ka, Guadeloupe's traditional drum. He drops "Bodé Apiyé" in 2011 when Bouyon Gwada has no name yet. Five years later, in January 2016, "Sa Ka Débodé" with Mr Boka on a DJ Weez composition becomes one of the hits restarting the scene after Suppa's death. In 2025, his feature on "Long Spoon" with Triple Kay International plugs him straight into the Dominican live scene — a rare crossing for a Guadeloupean artist.
ED
Bouyon artist
Edday
Edday — real name Eddy Vanerot — is one of the solo voices of the Gwada Bouyon transition. As early as 2019, he dropped "Ouu La La" with Reo and "Ti KoKa" with Bilix, LaRose and VJ Ben — two singles that anchored the transition. Six years later, "You Mad" 2025 with Reo, DJ Luchshiy and Jixels confirms he's still part of the chain linking the pre and post New Bouyon Wave eras.
VJ
DJ · producer · transition collaborator
VJ Ben
VJ Ben has been spinning as a DJ since 2013, but in 2021 his production work shifts into high gear. When he produces "Je l'ai vu" with HollyG and Arendi, he lays down the beat that opens the post-COVID Bouyon Gwada cycle — the window that directly paves the way for the 2023 New Bouyon Wave. Two years earlier, he was already credited as producer on "Ti KoKa" 2019 with Bilix, LaRose and Edday. The "Charles V Remix" 2023 relaunches the track on the platform chain. A pivot producer, not a global pillar — but the New Bouyon Wave was built on his beats.
KE
Bouyon artist
Kevni
Kevni — real name Sandy Kevin Tel-agnesa, from Petit-Canal in Guadeloupe — spent nine years building a YouTube presence before things took off. In 2017, "Corsaire" finally placed him in Guadeloupean dancehall. In 2018, "Olaleyley" pulled his audience onto Bouyon ground — a single that became a reference across Caribbean sound systems. Since 2023, he's been chaining features with TIITII NBA and the entire new Gwada wave.
RE
Bouyon artist
Reo
Reo, real name Dario Sebastien Yankey, is a Dominican artist from Colihaut. With his album "The Fresh Prince of Bouyon" released in 2022, he proves Bouyon can do it all — from rough for the street to love side for the girls. Central voice between Faithii, Kenny G, Edday and DJ Luchshiy, he bridges the Dominican scene and Guadeloupean productions.
AK
Bouyon artist
Aknose
Aknose (Gaël) is a central voice of the New Bouyon Wave, from Les Abymes in Guadeloupe. He moved from dancehall to Bouyon through his cousin Vador and a conceptual click — framing Bouyon as the Caribbean equivalent of Ibiza-style techno (same BPM, same cardio) — federating the scene from the MJC des Abymes, where several hits of the new generation are composed.
LU
Producer · beatmaker · DJ
DJ Luchshiy
DJ Luchshiy, born in 1996 in Guadeloupe, builds the beats that connect both islands. In 2021, his feature with Mr Ridge on "Je T'aime Dayleeway" plugs him into Dominica early. Two years later, "KKM" with Aknose locks him in as a recurring New Bouyon Wave Gwada producer. Today his catalog runs through Aknose, TIITII NBA, Edday, Lestef KJF Boyz, Lucky Lukee, MiiMii KDS, Reo, Jixels and Mr Ridge — one of the few directly linking Guadeloupean production to Dominican voices.
LU
Bouyon artist
Lunik
Lunik — real name Ludmael Flower — is a member of Team Bwè Tou Sa, the Guadeloupean collective he forms as a trio with FLW and MA6MO. A 2020+ Gwada Transition figure, he laid down the founding single "50/50" in 2020 with T-BTS and Lestef KJF Boyz, then kept going with "Jumping Jack", "RAKITA" and the "#Oups" series — one of the strongest bridges between the pre-2023 transition and the New Bouyon Wave.
