In april, 2019 we already had one of their albums. It gained
not one single reaction. Let’s see if this record which contains
some of their greatest successes does better. The compas from
1982 is quite sweet to my humble opinion. What do yóu think ?

In april, 2019 hadden we al eens één van hun albums. Hij kreeg
geen enkele reactie. Laten we eens zien of deze plaat, die enkele
van hun grootste successen bevat, het beter doet. De compas
uit 1982 is vrij lekker naar mijn bescheiden mening, wat vind jij ?

As I was told by Leon somewhere in the past, Les Loups
Noirs were known for being one of the most versatile groups
from the Mini-Jazz era. They were most notable in the variety
of textures they used in their arrangements, often switching
roles between solo and accompaniment among the electric
organ, guitar and saxophone. To this day guitarist/bassist
Laurent Ciceron remains one of the authorities on traditional
styles and continues to develop creative ways to authentically
integrate them with contemporary styles. It should also be noted
that, while it isn’t always reflected in the recordings of this era,
most ensembles were expected to play a variety of styles at
the ‘balls’ (dance parties), an evening was not considered
complete without a few boleros, merengues, son montunos,
R&B, or even a selection of ska or calypso
or two thrown into the mix ..

Nemours Jean Baptiste is considered to be the father of
Haïtian compas. He started out in 1955 based in Port-au-
Prince, Haïti’s capital. We had three albums so far, from
1966, 1973 and 1976. Read more about the man on the
sites linked below. During Nemours Jean Baptiste’s early
career he played with Webert Sicot in Conjunto Inter-
nacional. After the latter had started a new style in
a new group the two quarreled over the originality.
They finally fought out their differences in a soccer
match between their bands. It ended in a 1-1 tie.

We have had two albums with drummer Ulrick Tuco Bouzi
and les Frères Déjean. One from 1981 and one from 1982.
In that same year Tuco went on with the Dixie Band. I was
listening to Tuco yesterday and decided to bring another
record with him. This ‘Ti Polis’ is from the next year, 1983.
Powerful compas with this wonderful drummer ..

We hadden al eens twee platen met drummer Ulrick Tuco
Bouzi et les Frères Déjean. Eentje uit 1981 en eentje uit 1982.
In dat zelfde jaar begon Tuco met de Dixie Band. Ik luisterde
gisteren naar Tuco en besloot nog eens een album met hem
te posten. Deze ‘Ti Polis’ is uit het volgende jaar, 1983.
Stevige compas met deze geweldige drummer ..

A solid cooperation between Gesner Henry, Coupé Cloué
and Jules Similien, Toto Nécessité. Toto wrote 5 of the
songs, Coupé wrote 1. The album appeared on Cine
Records in 1982. It was made in the easy twoubadou
style like most of their records. I have added the
links to other works that concern the two singers ..

Uit 1982 en op Cine Records vinden we vandaag deze
prettige samenwerking tussen Gesner Henry, Coupé Cloué
en Jules Similien, Toto Nésessité. Toto schreef twee van
de 6 nummers, Coupé één. De plaat is in de mellow twou-
badou stijl gemaakt zoals de meeste met deze jongens.
Ik heb links geplaatst naar andere werken met de twee ..

Today I challenge you to write us about this group.
I could come up with some nonsense like I do so often.
I really don’t know anything but the fact I like their compas
and their tight costumes. If you can provide
us with relevant info, please do ..

Vandaag daag ik je uit eens iets te schrijven over deze band.
Ik zou wel weer met een slap verhaal kunnen komen zoals ik
wel vaker doe. Ik vind de compas mooi en hun strakke kos-
tuumpjes ook. Meer weet ik echt niet. Als jij wat relevante
info hebt, laat het ons dan s.v.p. horen ..
