October 3, 2014 9:22 AM

The Group Boulpik has been performing in France and in the Netherlands for two weeks, from May 23 to June 8. A great number of concerts held in theaters, workshops, which took place in schools and outdoor festival performances were held during this period of time, together with "Musiques Métisses" and "Music Meeting" from the guest countries.

The public was absolutely captivated and encouraged to dance, joining the group in unison. They all seemed to clearly understand the group's message and synched with the trend of their music. The name "Boulpik" translates into "search for life". The group's philosophy is staying true to the roots, believing in one's own good fate and not being tempted to turn to pity and defeatism.

Their first CD, "Kompa Lakay", was warmly received by both the public and by the European press. It was released under the record label Lusafrica, the one that launched Cesaria Evora as well and brought to the media's attention the style of this music.

The group was highly praised in Paris and their music elected by most radio stations as a discovery of a new style. RFI, Africa No. 1 and Radio Nova all played their songs.
