Le Bluff: the guest voice four records are enough to place

Published October 20, 2026

Le Bluff is a guest voice of Guadeloupe bouyon, documented by four records only: one solo record, “C HOT”, referenced in the Spotify bouyon playlist, and three collaborations released in 2023, with Shanika, with Laka and his collective session, and on the Lewismelo album “Premières Notes”. No public biography documents this name. This profile therefore does what an honest profile must do with a thin record: it publishes the four verified traces, it places the scene they belong to, and it states in plain words everything the record does not hold.

Who Le Bluff is: a stage name, four verified traces

Le Bluff is an artist of the bouyon scene of the French Antilles, known only through his appearances in the platform catalogues. His name appears as a performer on three records of 2023 and as a solo artist on a fourth, “C HOT”. Scene databases such as Viberate place him in the same artist cloud as LaRose, Kima or the LESTEF KJF BOYZ: the dancehall and bouyon circuit of Guadeloupe and Martinique that has fed the platforms since the start of the 2020s.

This profile opens with an unusual but necessary statement: in the sources consulted, there is no biography of Le Bluff. No published real name, no birthplace, no interview, no detailed artist page on the platforms, no home label. Everything that can be said with verification fits inside his performer credits. This profile therefore does not turn four catalogue lines into a legend: it reads them closely, because those four lines still draw a precise position inside the scene.

That position is the guest voice. Current Guadeloupe bouyon works largely through collective sessions: a producer or an artist gathers several voices on one record or one album, and the names circulate from session to session. Le Bluff appears exactly in those formats, alongside Shanika, Billy Bybf, Team Bwè Tou Sa and on the collective album of Lewismelo. His is the profile of a network artist, not an album artist, and his record must be read in those terms.

The name itself, Le Bluff, belongs to those short, telling stage names the Creole scene favours, built to be remembered inside a feature line. This profile invents neither an origin nor a meaning for it: it only notes that the name is credited consistently, with the same spelling “Le bluff” or “Le Bluff”, across all the platforms consulted.

“Chocolate”: the duet with Shanika, in 2023

The most complete trace of the record is “Chocolate”, a duet by Shanika and Le Bluff released on September 29, 2023 by Voodoo Studio. The platforms class it as afro-beat, at 160 BPM, the fast tempo of bouyon and dancehall records made for dancing, running 2 minutes 28. A video comes with the record, referenced on the song page.

The published credits of “Chocolate” tell how the scene is made. The writing and vocals are credited to Alphonse Maeva, the real name the credits attach to Shanika, and the composition and programming to Jonathan ELUSCA, the name behind Jixels. Le Bluff appears as a performer alongside Shanika: a two voice duet over a production by one of the recurring composers of the circuit, in the Voodoo Studio that carries part of the Shanika catalogue.

That record places Le Bluff precisely. Shanika is one of the rising voices of Guadeloupe bouyon, and her 2023 catalogue shows her in full construction, between “Okeii” in July and “Chocolate” in September, before “Hot Gal” in January 2024. Being the duet partner chosen for that single, rather than one name among eight on a collective record, is the strongest mark of the file: at that moment of her path, Le Bluff is a voice called on to carry a chorus for two.

It is also worth noting what “Chocolate” says about tags. The platforms class the record as afro-beat, while its tempo, its studio, its composer and its voices belong to bouyon gwada. That hesitation of the classifications is frequent for the current scene, and this profile flags it rather than settling it: the record is filed here for its network and its tempo, which are documented, not for a single genre tag.

“BAISE-MOI”: the Laka collective session, in 2023

Two months after “Chocolate”, Le Bluff appeared on the opposite format: the collective session. “BAISE-MOI”, the Laka record released on November 22, 2023 on the LAKA label, credits him as a feature alongside Riko, Tgx, Billy Bybf, PIXOU, Le daah, WAYSEE and Team Bwè Tou Sa. Eight guest names on one record, in the French language, at 160 BPM according to the data published by Shazam.

That kind of record is an institution of current bouyon and Creole dancehall: the posse cut, where a whole team rides the same production, each with a verse, in a format built for parties and platforms. Team Bwè Tou Sa, whose name means the team drinks all that in Creole, is one of the emblematic collectives of that format in Guadeloupe, and Billy Bybf one of the regular voices of those sessions.

The presence of Le Bluff in that list counts for what it is: proof of belonging to the circuit. Nobody enters an eight guest record by accident; it takes being in the studios, in the contacts of the session organisers and in the rotation of voices the scene trades among itself. Within two months of 2023, the record therefore shows two complementary faces: the tight duet with Shanika and the wide Laka session.

This profile stays measured on the rest: the pages consulted publish neither the detailed writing credits of “BAISE-MOI”, nor its length, nor a confirmed video. The record is therefore cited for its date, its label, its published tempo and its performer list, which are the established facts, and for nothing else.

“VIN TCHEK NOU”: the place on the Lewismelo album

The third trace of 2023 places Le Bluff on an album: “Premières Notes” by Lewismelo, whose track listing credits him as a feature on the third track, “VIN TCHEK NOU”, alongside Leyou and Tedla, running 3 minutes 17. The published writing credits name Youri Ellapin, Keran Landre and Ted Clarin.

The album itself is a photograph of the circuit. Lewismelo is one half of the brother duo documented on this site with Dcamp and Lewismelo, and “Premières Notes” gathers around him Admiral T and Shanika on “5 KILOS”, Dcamp and KEKS MAFIA on “POMPÉ”, Lejuh on “ALOUETTE” and Jixels on “HULLABALOO”. Le Bluff holds his place in that list, on the same album as established names of the Guadeloupe scene.

The title “VIN TCHEK NOU”, come and see us or come check us in Creole, belongs to the vocabulary of the sessions: an invitation, a team presentation. That Le Bluff is invited on it with two other voices confirms the reading of the whole file: in 2023, he is one of the complementary voices of the bouyon gwada circuit, called onto the collective formats that keep the scene turning between two headliners.

The pages consulted do not publish the release date of the album “Premières Notes” in the accessible detail, and this profile does not guess it. It keeps the established facts: the title, its place in the listing, its length, its guests and its published writers. If the full album sheet is confirmed, this profile will be completed and dated like every page on this site.

“C HOT”: the solo record, and the playlist that keeps it

The fourth record of the file is the only one carried by Le Bluff alone: “C HOT”, a format of 2 minutes 10 referenced in the Spotify playlist “The Sound of Bouyon”, the platform genre selection. There it stands alongside records by Asa Bantan, Triple Kay International, Kevni, Arèndi, FLW and TiiTii NBA: the company of that list is itself information, because those automatic selections group the records that listening habits associate with current bouyon.

“C HOT” is also the most fragile trace of the file. The pages consulted publish neither its release date, nor its label, nor its writing credits. It exists, it is credited to Le Bluff alone, it runs 2 minutes 10 and it circulates in the Spotify bouyon selection: that is everything that can be said of it with verification, and this profile stops there rather than dressing the record in an invented story.

That contrast sums up the whole file. On one side, an artist present enough in the circuit to chain, in a single year, a duet, a collective session and a place on the album of a scene name. On the other, an almost total absence of written traces: not one article, not one interview, not one fact sheet. Le Bluff is a typical case of the platform generation of bouyon, where an artist can exist musically without existing in the media.

For the listener, those four records still form a coherent entry point: they show the bouyon gwada of 2023 in its three dominant formats, the duet, the session and the collective album, with one guest voice as the common thread. Find that sound in our bouyon playlist, which follows the scene season after season.

What this profile does not know, and why it appears anyway

This profile appears because the four records exist and their credits are public. In an index of bouyon artists, leaving a hole where a name credited on records by Shanika, Laka and Lewismelo should stand would be another kind of error: erasure. The right answer to a thin record is neither invention nor silence, it is the publication of the facts with their limits displayed.

The limits are therefore listed here, without detour. No source consulted publishes the real name of Le Bluff, his birthplace, his birth date or his age. None publishes an interview, a press release or a written biography. No solo album or EP is documented. No concert date is referenced in the sources consulted. No official account was verified by opening it during the research, so the schema sameAs field stays empty and this page links to no social profile.

A method limit must be added: the name Le Bluff is also a common phrase, and search engines drown it under unrelated results, from poker to foreign bands. This profile kept only the occurrences whose credits, labels or collaborations cross check with the bouyon scene of the French Antilles, and set aside everything else, including records titled “Bluff” released by other artists, which are not his.

If Le Bluff releases a solo project, an artist sheet or a first interview, this profile will be completed, dated and corrected, like every page on this site. In the meantime, his four records remain listenable on the platforms, and our bouyon Guadeloupe page tells the scene they belong to, from WCK to the current sessions.
