Jazz, Electro, Jungle and métal, are the favourite musical styles that Sonny Troupé intermixes in his music based on Gwo ka (traditional music of Guadeloupe FWI where he comes from).
All these styles mingled with Gwo ka in a way to make his own music. A "musical synthesis" from all his performances with many musicians and groups like Christian Laviso, Kenny Garrett, David Murray, Lisa Simone, Kimbòl, Yosuke Onuma, Alain Jean Marie, Jacques Schwarz Bart, Tony Chasseur, Big Band Ka, Tanya Saint-Val...
Ka drum, traditional percussion from Guadeloupe, is the main piece of Sonny Troupé's music. An heritage that the drummer perpetuates and confronts to jazz.
