Lima Tchoumi is back with a hard-hitting new single, RATATATA. More than just a song, it’s a vibrant tribute to Guianese and Caribbean culture and the explosive energy of Bouyon. In 2024, she had already made waves with Go, a track with a strong rap essence. With RATATATA, she takes things to the next level, boldly asserting her musical identity. It’s more than an artistic choice—it’s a true statement of heritage. While still relatively unknown in mainland France, this genre has already ignited crowds across the Atlantic.
