From November 20, Canal+ Caribbean will launch its new event series “WISH” (West Indies Studio History).
Directed by Julien Dalle and produced by Eye and Eye Productions, this new release is made up of 10 26-minute episodes and brings together a host of talented cast, including Firmine Richard (Madeleine), Luc Saint-Eloy (Eloi), Méthi’s (Édith) , Ndy Thomas (Jean-Luc)…
The WISH series tells the story of Éloi, legend of the Caribbean music industry, whose sudden death sees her daughter Édith inherit an empire on the brink of collapse: the prestigious West Indies Studio. This 25-year-old young woman discovers that behind the glittering facade lies a financial time bomb – her father, out of loyalty, has kept all his former zouk artists under contract, creating a financial chasm that now threatens the new generation of artists urban.
But the crisis is only the tip of the iceberg. In the shadows, the mysterious Duke of Funds Laugier, Eloi’s historical rival, orchestrates a plot to take over the studio. He manipulates his wife Tina and longtime associate Patrick to dismantle Eloi’s legacy piece by piece. The situation worsens when Pierre-Édouard, betrayed co-founder of the studio, reappears after 40 years of exile, reviving old secrets that could change everything.
Between traditional artists who refuse to leave, dancehall stars who demand their due, and a family torn apart by what is left unsaid, Edith must fight on all fronts. His mission? Saving not only the family business, but also the soul of West Indian music. In this saga where power, betrayal and musical passion intertwine, each note could be the last from West Indies Studio.
Many personalities and artists appear in the series: Jordan Rizzi, Mat Le Buzz, Lycinaïs Jean, Krys, Laurence Joseph, Jacques Martial, Harry Diboula, Slaï, Thierry Cham, Francky Vincent, Admiral T, Médhy Custos, Clémence Botino, Passi, Claudi Siar, Harry Diboula, Misié Sadik, Orlane, Jean Michel Rotin, Florence Naprix…
