Remastered Reissues of the Historic and Heritage Debs Catalog

Starting January 2025, finally find the classic Henri Debs & Fils vinyls online in remastered digital versions on all legal streaming and download platforms!

Driven by a sense of duty to preserve history, Riko Debs has embarked on a monumental mission to highlight the musical heritage represented by the late Henri Debs père: the restoration, digitization, and remastering of the historical production catalog that began in the late 1950s and currently includes nearly 6000 titles…

This colossal project aligns with the same vision and continues the work of the documentary “Studio Debs,” co-produced in 2020 and released in 2022, which has been showcased at various film festivals (Black Diversity, Canada; Windrush, UK; Afro Latino, USA…), music festivals (Terre de Blues, Les Suds à Arles), and has won three awards to date (Best Caribbean Documentary & Best Sound Design in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, and Caribbean Spirit at Caribbean Tales in Toronto, Canada), generating an increasing demand for listening. “Studio Debs” will be screened in its full version on January 8, 2025, at La Cabane du Monde (Rocher de Palmer)

With 2 releases per month (one 45RPM and one 33RPM) each accompanied by a video animation around the vinyl cover, audiences will discover or revisit the gems of Caribbean music in chronological order. Debs Music Studio invites you on a journey into the past.

DEBS MUSIC STUDIO from father to son …

Founded in 1984 at 27 rue Frébault in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, by Monsieur Henri DEBS, the recording studio was initially named “La Terreur” and enjoyed a prestigious reputation. A plethora of artists from across the Caribbean, spanning various musical styles, recorded numerous hits there. Following the founder's passing in 2013, his son, Riko DEBS, who had been actively involved in the music industry for several years with his label “Riko Rekords,” decided to renovate the space, infusing it with a more modern dynamic while preserving the essence of this family heritage.

In 2024, forty years later, Debs Music Studio offers its clients professional recording conditions, establishing itself as the go-to studio.
