Kristof Négrit « État d’âme »

Kristof Négrit blends Caribbean grooves, sensitive melodies and improvised energy to create a direct connection with the audience and let Guadeloupe shine far beyond its borders.

Kristof Négrit is a drummer-percussionist from Guadeloupe based in Paris, nourished from childhood by gwo ka, konpa and zouk within a family of musicians.

A graduate who has performed on jazz and Caribbean stages, he has established himself as an eclectic sideman before asserting his own signature as a bandleader, blending Guadeloupean rhythms, modern jazz and afrobeat influences.

With his debut album “État d'âme” (“State of mind”), Kristof turns his memories and emotions into an intimate musical notebook, where each track explores a colour: nostalgia, light, imbalance, hope.

Designed for the stage, this project blends Caribbean grooves, sensitive melodies and improvised energy to create a direct connection with the audience and let Guadeloupe shine far beyond its borders. Irving Acao / tenor saxophone. Julian Caetano / piano.
