Kalash announces EX-VOTO: all about his new album and his special concert!
Summary
General alert in the rap and dancehall scene! Four years after the resounding success of his album TOMBOLO, the Mwaka Boss is about to make his big musical comeback. Mark your calendars and prepare your best speakers: Kalash has just dropped the bomb, his new project is titled EX-VOTO!
EX-VOTO release on June 12: a historic triple celebration
This is not just a simple rap album release, it’s a true alignment of the planets. On June 12, Kalash will not do things halfway. Within 24 hours, the Martinican artist will celebrate three major events:
- The official release of EX-VOTO in stores and on all music streaming platforms.
- His monumental concert at Paris La Défense Arena, an XXL stage worthy of his headliner status.
- His own birthday! Needless to say, the atmosphere in the largest venue in Europe promises to be totally electric.
What does "Ex-Voto" mean? The cultural point: For the curious and Latin lovers, an ex-voto is an object offered to a deity or saint in thanks for a favor received (a healing, protection, success, etc.). A strong and symbolic title that announces a very personal and spiritual album for the artist.
Ninho, Lino, Vybz Kartel: an XXL featuring lineup
For this return to the top of French rap, Kalash has brought out the heavy artillery. The EX-VOTO tracklist already promises to be legendary with prestigious guests from all musical backgrounds:
- The heavyweights of French rap: The essential Ninho (always present for magical collaborations) and the legendary lyricist Lino. A connection as awaited as it is explosive with the L2B collective.
- The Caribbean & international scene: The undisputed king of dancehall Vybz Kartel, as well as icons Cham and Daddy Yod.
- The enchanting R&B voices: Monsieur Nov, Satori, Jozii and Naïka.
- The emotional moment: Leva Valleray, who is none other than Kalash’s own daughter!
- The international artistic touch: The famous choreographer and world-renowned dancer Parris Goebel.
An explosive cocktail promising to skillfully navigate between trap bangers, dancehall hits, and more intimate melodies.
