The strength of the collective in a melodic Caribbean-Montreal fusion, that’s Abondance’s brand. Mixing Island influences, the softness and slowness of the days, with the vibe of urban concrete and asphalt streets, inviting without restraint each of the tempos that make feet move and hips sway. An amazing mix imbued with zouk rhythms, West-Indian style, and electronic sounds colliding with the eardrums, inspiring a joyful trance until well into the night; a nightlight that highlights people coming together, whether on the Main or in the tropics under coconut trees bursting with freshness. Abondance is bodies and souls coming together to the same beats, from the djembe to the frenzied synthesizer.

Worthy of a magnificent carnival, the group also borrows from a pool of pop, house, dance and even funk rhythms. Grafted onto those, the Guadeloupean Gwo ka, with its seven basic drum patterns that mark their colourful celebrations. An invitation to music lovers of all ages, the Abondance equation is simply this: West Indies + City Life = Sheer pleasure of the senses. Heavenly and sensual, and perfectly in tune with Montreal… with a passport to Abondance, no need to leave the city for that Island vibe!
