Joé Dwèt Filé – Goumin et Goumin Terminé (Top Albums 2024)

· by Sandra Gasana

Derived from the Ivorian slang “nouchi”, Goumin means heartache, and this is the term Joé Dwèt Filé chose for the title of his double album released earlier in 2024. Goumin is about heartbreak, whereas Goumin Terminé is about everything going right. Author, composer, performer and sound engineer originally from Haiti and now living in France, JDF bridges the gap between Africa and the Caribbean, playing Afro-Caribbean, zouk, konpa and RnB.

While some of the album’s tracks sound similar to Tayc’s, JDF still manages to stand out by adding his own Konpa and Zouk touch. Easy-to-remember lyrics, a catchy beat and you’ve got a recipe for success. A number of tracks can be found on both albums, such as Abimé or Kitem Ale, while others only appear on the finished Goumin album: such as Ça va, Ginger or Merci à mon ex, which was a big hit and on which he got the audience to participate during his last show at the Olympiade Montréal in early December. He features Franglish on Ça finit mal, a kind of American-style RnB, while on Plus le temps, he collaborates with a certain RK, mixing Rap and RnB. This double-album reveals a versatile artist who continues to make a name for himself. Ill has a date at the Bell Centre in December 2025.

My favorite is Kitem Ale, who makes me want to dance right from the start. This former member of the group Lespada, who decided to pursue a solo career, has nonetheless collaborated with big names in music such as Naza and Fally Ipupa, to name but a few. He has more than proved himself with his most recent global hit, 4 Kampé, which was certified gold a few weeks ago. He is gearing up for another Bercy concert in the next few days to round off what has been a productive year for the young man.
