Bouwe`y
feat. on Yellow Gaza, with Keytzone
TA
Bouyon artist · first wave Yellow Gaza
Tasmo
On 1 May 2012, the "Bouwe'y" single drops on Yellow Gaza. On the cover, two featured artists: Tasmo and Keytzone. les plateformes streaming still keeps the date today. This presence on a Yellow Gaza single places Tasmo in the circle of guest voices of Bouyon Gwada's hardcore Acte II — at 160 BPM, in the Vador / DJ Joe / Asa Banton chain. Not a pillar figure, rather a featured voice who marked a specific moment. The trace is rare, but it is there.

Why this profile matters
On 1 May 2012, les plateformes streaming records the release of "Bouwe'y" feat. Tasmo & Keytzone on Yellow Gaza. That date makes Tasmo one of the very first identifiable hardcore Gwada Bouyon names on platforms. Only Kassidje Gazagirl's "A PA TAW" (31 December 2011) and the Suppa / Vadore Concept SoundCloud trace 2011 come before him. Tasmo is not a member of the Yellow Gaza organisational pole (Vador, DJ Joe, Asa Banton), nor of Gaza Crew (Suppa). He's part of the circle of guest voices on the repertoire — a featured voice marking a specific moment. His civil identity, commune and post-2012 trajectory haven't been publicly documented. But his presence on "Bouwe'y" is enough to lock him into the memory of Acte II Gwada at 160 BPM.

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.

Keytzone
May 1, 2012. Keytzone rides "Bouwe'y", a Yellow Gaza single where she shares the feature with Tasmo. les plateformes streaming keeps the date. This presence on a 2012 release places her among the guest voices of hardcore Bouyon Gwada at 160 BPM, at a precise moment when the sound is settling in Guadeloupe. The organising core stays Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton — Keytzone isn't part of it, but she's in their repertoire.

DJ Joe
2007. Bouyon has just landed in Guadeloupe, and DJ Joe sets his decks on the first Yellow Gaza sets. With Vador and Asa Banton, he's one of the three who carry the 160 BPM hardcore sound from Dominica to Pointe-à-Pitre. In December 2012, he hits a Paris stage with Suppa and the Gaza Girls — one of the first times Bouyon Gwada steps outside the Caribbean. Ten years later, he drops "Bwé rhum" with Asa Bantan in 2023 and proves he never left the table.

Asa Banton
In 2011, Asa Banton releases "One Man". The next year, "Bouyon Boss". In April 2013, "Wet Fete". Three singles, three years, and the modern Bouyon solo artist role is invented. Before him, the genre lived mostly through bands — WCK, Triple Kay. After him, it becomes possible to have a nominal career, a stage nickname, an identifiable catalogue and an audience that follows the artist rather than the formation. In 2020, the Dominican State names him Goodwill Ambassador. Four years later, in 2024, he wins the People's Choice Award at the Caribbean Music Awards — against Kes, Patrice Roberts, Skinny Fabulous, Shenseea and Yung Bredda. First time a 100% Bouyon artist wins a pan-Caribbean mainstream category.

Bouyon artist · Gaza Crew founder
Suppa
On November 16, 2011, Suppa uploads "I Don't Kow" to the Vadore Concept SoundCloud. Nobody knows it yet, but it's one of the very first public audio traces of Bouyon Gwada that survives today. Lincoln Robin by his real name, Suppa is Dominican-born, Guadeloupe-based, and he carries the lead voice of the first wave (Act II). He founds Gaza Crew, crosses the Atlantic to Paris in December 2012, and keeps circulating across the European scene through 2013. That same year, he is killed in Guadeloupe. The scene loses its central singer barely 25 years old.

Gaza Crew
In the early 2010s, when Suppa (Lincoln Robin) lands in Guadeloupe from Dominica, he does not just join Yellow Gaza. He founds his own collective: Gaza Crew. Not a clone, not a branch — a neighbouring entity, centred on him. For three years, this collective carries 160 BPM hardcore Bouyon with releases that stay in people's memory: the Vadore Concept SoundCloud trace in 2011, the Gaza Girls' "Sa Zot Vle" single the same year, the December 2012 Paris set in the diaspora. In 2013, Suppa dies. The collective stops, but its memory still feeds the entire contemporary Bouyon Gwada.

Gaza Girls Crew
2010, Bouyon Gwada starts circulating between Dominica and Guadeloupe. Five women form Gaza Girls Crew: Kassidje (Jessica Petro), Gaza Izzy, La Barbie, DJ'Angel and Ghetto Princess. They ride at 160 BPM hardcore in a scene institutions are already trying to slow down — la presse dominicaine documents the tension in 2012. Distinct from Gaza Crew (Suppa's collective) and Yellow Gaza (Vador, DJ Joe, Asa Banton), they drop "Sa Zot Vle" on the Bouyon Concept label in 2011, then "A PA TAW" the same year. The December 2012 Paris set takes them into the diaspora. Bouyon's women are there more than ten years before the New Bouyon Wave.
