J'aime bien Siwo, mais celle qui suis sur la k7 audio originale "Sakitala" me bouleverse carrément! "SAKITALA" me tue, littéralement! Si je pouvais savoir où la trouver en CD...Je serais comblée!
i love this song. my parents used to listen to it, but what is it about exactly? shes saying something is sweet. im haitian and i speak creole but they speak too fast for me to understand...
@warriorbleu i think she's talkin about her country...but uses a man as a metaphor.......she meant her country is sweet as honey....i dont know but thats what the video show
@kray187 actually you are right siwo=sirop but she is referring to the time slaves were trying to escape, they would pour sirop on their body to throw off the scent of their body, and confuse the dogs.
je chantais cette chanson en cachette quand j'avais 7 ans(!!!) car pour ma grand mère croyante "on ne chante pas cette chanson à 7 ans" (...) que de bons souvenirs ...C'est de là peut être que me vient mon côté rebelle ! Maintenant je chante siwo avec mes filles (5 ans et 9 mois!!). Jocelyne aide toutes les femmes à tenir debout...
Comment font les gens pour ne pas danser dessus ? même dans une maison de retraite je continuerai à remuer mes fesses dès que j'entendrai cette chanson !
I saw the group Kassav when they came to the Stade nationale de Niamey Niger in the 80s. les memoires de ce moment la ne vont jamais m'echapper. j'ai 38 ans maintenant et j'ecoute toujours a Kassav
I'm from Dominica and I remember growing up listen to Kassav. Man, this brings back some good memories, especially when I visited Martinique and Guadeloupe. The only zouk I will listen to, thank you for posting. Kassav is the BEST GROUP in the world!!!
Im from Rwanda Im only 19 years old but I remember my unties dancing to those songz playing them I luv Kassav since Im 3 years old. now I leave in US and i still luv kassav!
Man, these song put such a joy in me that i can't even explain. I'm remember Kassav as a child growing up in Haiti. The bestr music i've heard in my life and i'm a Hip Hop producer
I'm 35, now live in australa. Listening to Kassav, took me right back to my childhood in Mauritius. Music can take you anywhere anytime without having to leave the comfort of your home.
im from st.lucia. this cant die ever. kassav its it. their music has stood the test of time and still going strong. love em. im 25 now FROM CHILD HOOD TILL NOW IM A MAJOR FAN.
I'm from Angola,south west of Africa. I'm 29 years old .Kassav makes me feel like 18. In Angola we don't understand the French Creole they sing, but somehow the musica makes the whole country to dance. Kassav came to stay forever. if you don't get the lyrics, just move your feet and enjoy the rhyms: They are Truly human!!
No kidding! I'm a huge Kassav's fan as a group but as a little kid, I loved this album so much and I was looking forward for years of her brilliance. This has to be the best Kassav album: solo or not!
lol..I really feel the need to comment on this: I'm 19 from the US and *I* grew up listening to Kassav' as well. My dad is from Haiti and because of him an his musical interests, Isomehow grew up listening to Kassav'...in the 90s lol
I'm from Tanzania and I tell you what, along with Kassav, Sam Fan Thomas was also THE MAN! in the 80s.... African Typic Colletion... whaaat??? Fuhggetaboutit!
Yes, mwana wane. Hapo ongeza na Elvis Kemayo na wimbo wake wa "Iyee iyeee ehh, dance African Music". I went to the weding in 1989 and heard a song (rete) and never knew who sang. After atended JKT, i came back to Dar and iivited to birthday party. Guess what? It was again Kassav song from the cassete and i just jumped from my seat ....... who's this who's this.... Yes, kassav was in da party.
I'm 32 and from Panama, and what can I say...during the 80s kassav songs were blasted on the bus or the neighborhood block parties...Nothing like a beach trip listening to Mwen Malad on the way there...
@fransou19 ton kommentare m fé pleuré d bonheur .jétais tres jeune a l'époque on allé a la plage l'apres midi pdt ts l'été ,.que du bonheur !INOUBLIABLE §
This is Timeless remember it being a hit in my days as a little girl and when Kassav Comes to Dominica for The World Creole Music Festival...it's still a hit.Good Music ALWAYS remains Good music.
Kassav, qui a accompagné mon enfance,
et maintenan ma peridoe adulte,
comme koi Zouk la c'est midicament nou ni,
pour soigner une vie pas facile ♥
