Elkin Robinson is one of the great jewels of Colombian island music.

His mix of sounds that includes mento, calypso, soca, roots reggae and Caribbean folklore, has as a result in “Sun a Shine”, a cathartic, minimalist and dreamy album that also turns out to be a Caribbean songbook where they are portrayed, as photographs for the memory, songs that speak of sunsets, cultural revolutions, odes to love and keep the tradition alive.

An absolutely beautiful album.
