Album lore

Darina Victry’s 2025 release Vie-Three, issued on Universal Music Africa, presents nine tracks weaving through zouk and kompa rhythms. Recorded with a clear nod to these Caribbean-rooted styles, the album balances danceable pulse and melodic phrasing. Notable is the collaboration with Goulam on “Avec toi,” which adds a textured vocal interplay.Tracks such as “Ma raison,” the featured signal here, and “Nouveau départ” sit comfortably alongside more languid moments like “Pour toi” and “Feeling,” offering a modest but assured addition to the contemporary African embrace of Francophone Caribbean music. With its restrained circulation—59 listeners and 123 scrobbles on Last.fm—Vie-Three remains an underappreciated artifact for crate-diggers tracing the ongoing dialogue between African and Antillean musical forms.
