Dowdelin Booking Agency Profile
The four-piece, self-described "Creole Afro-Futurists" Dowdelin, who are based in Lyon and have roots in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Armenia, spread the love with their addicting new foot shuffler Simé Love.
Dowdelin make a comeback with their track Simé Love (Creole meaning Spread Love), their first new song since the Poul Wélélé EP. The ensemble, which has recently grown to a four-piece size, combines fragmented electronic noises, jazz, and music from the French West Indies, including Gwo-Ka, Biguine, Quadrille and others. The track is the lead single from their upcoming album Lanmou Lanmou, which will be released on the French label Underdog Records.
Dowdelin, a play on a Creole term that means sluggish and idle, was founded in Lyon by producer David Kiledjian and vocalist Olivya. They rapidly found their groove by fusing Afro-Caribbean stylings, Creole-language vocals and more European sounding electronics. It immediately felt natural to Olivya, who is from La Martinique but was raised in France, to combine both styles.
The trio published their debut album, Carnaval Odyssey, which included the tracks Boaty Cruisy and Laissé Mwen. Dancehall, jazz and R&B were combined with the Guadeloupean gwo ka rhythms, electronic synthesizers and vibes. The group's debut sent them on the road, where they performed around Europe, including a number of UK festivals, including Womad, Shambala and Love Supreme. The group's debut was immediately contagious and had "boundary breaking beats" (UK Vibe)..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Dowdelin to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Dowdelin in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Dowdelin or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Dowdelin's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Dowdelin for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Dowdelin, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Dowdelin. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Dowdelin booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Dowdelin for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Dowdelin booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Dowdelin charge for an event. An example fee to book Dowdelin is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Dowdelin agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Dowdelin manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Dowdelin for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Dowdelin agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Dowdelin, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Dowdelin booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Dowdelin, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
