Miky Ding La
Miky Ding La is one of the voices of the first hardcore Bouyon Gwada wave — the one that followed the Gwada Act II carried by Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton. As early as 2013, he dropped "Bitin woz" on les plateformes streaming — a single that placed him in the same lane as Kassidje, Ghetto Princess, Sted Kila and Haterz B. Ten years later, he came back with "Sa dou" alongside 1T1 and Shanika in 2023, proving he bridges the Gwada pioneers and the New Bouyon Wave platform era.

Why this profile matters
In 2013, when Miky Ding La put "Bitin woz" on les plateformes streaming, hardcore Bouyon Gwada was running at 160 BPM and passing hand to hand on the newborn platforms. At that point he sits in the same lane as Kassidje, Ghetto Princess, Sted Kila and Haterz B — first-wave voices that Le Courrier de Guadeloupe had documented from 2012 onward. His discography then went through a long quiet stretch, before flipping in 2022 with "Koké La" and "Sa Ki Bon" alongside Yellow Gaza, a direct extension of the Bouyon Kings lane. In 2023, "Sa dou" with 1T1 and Shanika plugged him back into the heart of the New Bouyon Wave platform — Shazam credits the track across the year's playlists. "Bad Bitch" with DJ Taffy then "Woman" with Shanika in 2025 confirm he remains active in current releases. His role in the story: Gwada bridge, not global pillar, but essential to understand how the first hardcore wave held on until the 2023 New Bouyon Wave emerged.

YE
Bouyon Gwada collective
Yellow Gaza
Yellow Gaza is one of the pillar projects of Act II of Bouyon in Guadeloupe (2007-2013). Driven by Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton, the collective was the first stage bridge between Dominica and Guadeloupe: it opened the road for Gaza Girls, Suppa and the whole Guadeloupean generation that followed. Distinct from Gaza Crew (founded by Suppa), Yellow Gaza remains a founding trace in the Bouyon Gwada memory long before the platform era.
