She ultimately returned to Québec and joined the reggae group "Kaliroots", also forming (in 1998) a dreadlocked duo called DobaCaracol with Dorianne Fabreg (Doba).
DobaCaracol broke up in 2007, after which Carole Facal began to work on her first solo album as Caracol .
Transformation, love, ecstasy, wisdom, rebellion, and conflict are among the themes that inspire her in her quest.
