“Basta" by Martinique based artist Erdan is full of so much angst and emotion. His songs are inspire by the Martinique climate: made of both heat and sun but also rain and winds that are both intense and mild. One can hear in his music a transparency in the face of emotions and feelings that gives spontaneous and thoughtful music.
With this title "Basta" he tells the contradictory emotions felt at the time of a separation. Between anger and love always present for the loved one, the questions that appear, the desire to move away from a situation where partners suffer and to stay because memories are strong and alchemy and dependence are just as strong. All this is told about a dynamic instrumental with Caribbean influences, which reflects the island where he came from and still live today. While the entire track is dripping in the instrumentation offers a dynamic interplay of compositional elements, which gives each line a unique stamp.
