This saturday the fourth of july weather predictions say it is going to
be the hottest day in history. With expected temperatures of more
than forty degrees it has never been so hot before. At least since the
beginning of measurements that is. The highest temperature ever
measured in the Netherlands was 38,6° C in 1944. Hang in there
everybody. What can we do.. ? ..at least listen to some
mellow summer tunes like this, let’s see..
One of our Colombian visitors told me the music of Toto Nécessité
is very much in demand in Cartagena. He asked for this here record.
I can imagine for this is a hot slice of Haïtian vinyl. Toto’s sound is
very entertaining and a mellow listen, not too fast, just right for
a hot summer day like this one. Enjoy..

mil gracias por este registro, es una joya musical.

The Toto Necessite album is considered a classic in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Gambia, Ivory Coast and Senegal. Where I come from (Sierra Leone) even to date, no decent party is complete without Ay Maman. We consider it one of our unofficial ‘National Anthems’.
By the way, I should point out that ‘Ay Maman’ refers to the track ‘Coq’, but no one calls it that – we all know it by the opening words of the song and the live version by the late Jeff Joseph and New Grammacks was often the highlight of their set.
thank you for Haitian treasure!
