From The Age Of Thirteen He Began To Play In A Ball Orchestra And Then Embarked On The Bubbling Of The Hippie And Disco Years With Bands With Evocative Names Such As The Lords Pop Decadence Satisfaction. Towards The End Of The 1970s There Was The Decisive Meeting With Another Reunion Poet Jean Albany And The Adoption Of Creole As The Language Of Writing And Music Of The Island Maloya. Péters Then Founded A New Group Carrousel With A Repertoire Nourished By Traditional Rhythms And More Modern Influences. The Adventure Will Last Only A Year The Death Of His Father Throws Him A Little More Into Alcohol. The Group Breaks Up And Alain Plunges Into Marginality. Using And Abusing Zamal The Local Herb And Alcohol He Lived As A Half-Tramp Singing His Misery And Deep Sadness At Random Encounters. A Melancholic Voice A Very Rhythmic Guitar Playing On A Takamba Small Sahelian Guitar Bittersweet Texts Sung In Creole Characterize His Songs. Some Recordings From This Period Remain. We Owe Them To Jean Marie Pirot A Passionate Teacher Who In 1981 Improvised Himself As A Recording Studio Director. For A Year In His Apartment He Had The Patience The Sessions Never Lasted Very Long To Capture A Dozen Wonders – Track After Track Because Péters Plays All The Instruments. He Died Of A Heart Attack In 1995 At The Age Of 43. "Alain He Is Immortal " Says Danyel Waro With Simplicity. He Left A Lot Of Beautiful Things. It Is A Poetic And Musical Value. He Is Someone I Respect Greatly. He Is A Rebel Who Could Not Fit Into Reality. He Was A Very Common And Unusual Person At The Same Time. He Sang Of His Reality His Abyss. He Was A Vagabond. He Has No Age. I Know It's Been Dead For A Long Time But It Continues To Be In Us." read less
