A new Supergroup has emerged from Cork City’s diverse musical underground and they are playing Creole (Gwoka) Soul music from Guadeloupe.Pitak are the sound of the French-Caribbean, combining elements of Reggae, Jazz, Soul, Samba and West African rhythms with Ines Khai’s voice rising above like an eagle soaring on the warm Caribbean breeze. Their sound underlines the cultural ancestry of the African people from Guadeloupe, mainly from the area between Senegal & The Congo. Ines’ amazing vocal range is accompanied by a fabulous line-up of seasoned and diverse musicians; including one of Ireland’s top bassists, Jerome Rimson (from Detroit), two Congolese musicians from Ireland’s best traveled African Band (The Lace) Daniel Muyombo & Troca on electric guitar & Drum Kit respectively and Ireland’s Patrick Naughton playing Djembe, percussion & shakers making up the quintet.

Highly recommended!

“A truly fantastic performance that swept me clean off my feet.”

“Make sure you catch Pitak early, so you can say that you were there first.”
