Kalash

FRA (Martinique)

A subtle blend of reggae, vocoded dancehall and rap: this is how we could describe the interplanetary tubes of Martinican artist Kevin Valleray, known under the stage-name of Kalash. After starting out in underground sound systems, he quickly moved to the front of the stage by collaborating with artists such as Booba, Damso and Niska. 1 November saw the release of his fifth studio album, Diamond Rock, a project rich in both colour and sound that confirms the range of the artist's repertoire.
