The band Dowdelin calls their style of music Creole Afrofuturism, a brew of creole soul, jazz, electronica and dance. The four-piece band first got together in Lyon, France, with producer David Kiledjian and Olivya Victorin at the helm. And it was Victorin who helps bring those Afro Carribbean vibes to forefront, having been born on the island of Martinique and growing up in France.
