J'ai carte blanche sur Jazz à FIP à 19 heures aujourd'hui. Petite balade musicale sur les morceaux qui ont contribué à mon éveil en jazz. Quelques bon souvenirs.

Putting final touches on six songs to carry on unveiling the trilogy. 'Colors Of Silence' gives you the bedrocks, as discussed (among many other topics) in this interview given to The Guardian: theguardian.com/music/2023/nov…

Long time no see, and long time no talk ! Well, a vinyl version of 'Colors Of Silence', demo to 'The Unnamed Trilogy', is going to be released November 17th this year, set for pre-order right now at Be With Records: bewithrecords.com/products/wally…
More to come soon !

A little recap from my friends at RVM, just in case 😊: rvm.pm/?s=Wally++Bada…

I grew up in these worlds. Pure magic. I'm forever blown away by the sheer will and craft that went into these effects. variety.com/2022/film/news…

20 days later, Mikey 'Mao' Chung gone too. Both of them gone in less than a month. 2021, sinister year for reggae music in general, and for the CPAS in particular.

Seven years after Uziah 'Sticky' Thompson, now Robbie Shakespeare. The Compass Point All Stars are shrinking. R.I.P. Robbie.

Slowly but surely, the Trilogy is gaining in substance after each release. You can now get them all, plus narratives, future discounts, pre-orders and merchandising from my new page in Bandcamp: wallybadarou.bandcamp.com . It was about time I joined the community.

Suppose we could put all our troubles behind us and, like magic, wake up to a lively piece of music ... Could it be this one ? 'Ride In Overdrive', a call for tireless resilience. With a home-made video real fun to make. Available everywhere online.

... something only a handful of people managed to achieve throughout the whole of the music history. In that, he will be forever remembered. This goes without saying, but it does feel so much better when said over and over again.

Along with Kassav, Jacob managed to reach the very envious status of being not just a great performer, a great songwriter, a great music composer and producer and so and so, but way on top of that, an inventor of a music genre in its own right ...

So proud to announce that today sees the release of my new album ‘Beautiful Wounds’ on Abbey Records

Available now on download, streaming, CD & vinyl.

I really hope you get to hear it, and I really hope you dig it if you do!

Thank you all for your overwhelming and uplifting support ! God bless.

Genevieve my beloved wife passed away last week, even though painlessly, peacefully, and surrounded by her most cherished ones. We were a solid couple, which made each other a stronger person. So I shall remain strong, for life goes on regardless. R.I.P. my love.

Chameleon said it all... ultimate tune... RIP one of the greatest bass players of all times Paul Jackson youtube.com/watch?v=UbkqE4…

2021, at long last (should I say ?) ... I'll say a lil' prayer for you, for all of us. We all need it so badly.

Jean-Marie Moreau left us during the night. 42 years of undiminished friendship.
He got me into the pledge for authors rights, an advocacy he vocally, brilliantly and tirelessly demonstrated dynamic integrity for, worldwide. A terrible loss in those troubled times.

Anniversary to celebrate ! 🙂
