Tabala Mouv

A 3 track zouk single (17m 7s) — released February 28th 2020 on Vive La Musique

Vive La Musique brings you an official reissue and reworks of the unique and highly sought after Zouk track Tabala Mouv. The song is the standout composition from the ultra-rare Tabala series, released on vinyl in the mid 80s. After many months of searching, label head Aroop Roy managed to track down songwriter and producer, Maurice Agad, to the Caribbean island of Martinique. The 12" includes the original track and two brand new versions, making a special package that many are touting as one of the soundtracks of the summer.

In the original, Detroit-esque keys and a Balearic beat captivate you from the opening bars and uplifting vocals and a euphoric horn section combine to transport you to an idyllic paradise. Aroop Roy steps up the tempo and flips the groove for a trademark rework that will have universal appeal to house, disco and tropical music fans. The release is made complete with a subtle extended edit from Truccy (Rainer Trüby & Corrado Bucci).
