Ti Paris remains The Icon of Haitian Folk music. Altieri Dorival, Gesner Antoine of Trio Sélect, later named Coupe Cloue, Les Charmeurs du Cap with Papou of Septentrional Orchestra, Les Professionels, Rodrigue Millien, Toto Necessite have left a voluminous repertoire of enjoyable music.
One might include Lumane Casimir, Martha Jean Claude, Toto Bissainthe, as folk singers in this category, but the author does not believe they belong here. However, they are the divas of Haitian pop music.
The “Twoubadou” is, at first, a street musician if he lives in the city, and can be found playing at “open air clubs”, called “anba tonnèl”, if he lives in the countryside. He wanders here and there playing for a few cents, for cigarettes or a drink of tafia or rhum. His small audience is often composed of men, smoking, drinking and joking at a street corner, or seated in front of a house, where they enjoy his music for a few minutes.
The structure of the “Twoubadou” song is also a very simple A and B form. A for the verse, B for the chorus, no bridge. The format of calls and responses which is endemic to Haitian Roots music or Voodoo Music is rarely used in folk music.
Songs are a testimony of suffering, mixed feelings of fatality and hope, struggle, the drama of life. The “Twoubadou” is most of the time a self-taught musician. Chords are a simple diatonic chords, and progressions not too sophisticated. Melodies often revolve often around the major and minor pentatonic scale. One will never hear a diminished chord, even less a dissonant chord in a compositions.
The Troubadour’s instruments are usually hand made. Even the strings of his guitar are often unconventional; in some cases, unfolded strings of copper from the unused starter of an automobile. The “Twoubadou” is often from the countryside, or deeply rooted to the social life of the masses and the peasants.
Twoubadou derives from the French “Troubadour”, and it means “Folk singer”. Another name for the music in Creole is “Siwèl.” Yet, understand that “Twoubadou” is not about a genre of music.
yo this is str8t up Dominican music !!!!! Look this proofs it!!!! /watch?v=MUHsVtqdDvw Luis vargas "el envidioso" also check out songs by Antony santos, this style is really Dominican music, this haitian dude is good, but its a little slower than real dominican ish!
@streetnewz How is it Dominican or Haitian ? you mean African roots music. Depends on how you say things. You can start debates. Its not like Haitians borrowed their music or vice versa.
THIS IS ORIGINAL TWOUBADOU, I CAN NOT UNDERSDAND WHY THESE MUSICS ARE NOT PLAYED ON HAITIEN RADIO. I DO NOT HEAR THESE MUSICS ON RADIO THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY FORGOTTEN.
I WHISH THERE WAS A TWOUBADOU BAND THAT IMMITATE ALL THESE FORGOTTEN ARTIST VOICE, AND PLAY EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN BOSTON, THIS GROUP WILL BE RICH
@streetnewz lmao, well the dominican music is influenced by the AFRICAN RYTHMS that came to Haiti and made its way over to the dominican republic, but you people swear there is nothing black about you lol.
@streetnewz Haitians don't sing bachata. Every rythim on the HISPANOLIA island are originated out of Africa that the slaves brought over with them. AFRICAN blood that flow through all our veins on that island. The rythms made his way to dominican republique via the now knows as Haitians who live on the other side. I'm sure you are 100 percent white and it doesn't apply to you. Sorry to bother you.
@rumberitos Saludos amigo de columbia. This song is really old and is really authentic haitian music. Too bad haitians are copying american music nowadays. We used to have talents in Haiti. Que pase un bien dia amigo de Columbia.
This reminds me of Puerto Ricos cuatro And it sounds like Musica Jibara Puerto ricos traditional mountain music.Wow unbelievable..love it god bless Haiti Puerto Rico loves you.
Thats not a fact, Haitian been playing this type of music long ago do your research. To even say they learned it from working in the cane fields is a freaking insult to the Haitians history and you should know better for posting such a preposterous /RUBBISH statement. Learn about a culture before throw your two cents. Do you know where meringue came from Haiti , so educate yourself Mr.reggieveggie.

@alphaphi09@alphaphi09 that is actually a fact. haitians worked in cane fields in DR and in Cuba and my family is haitian but of cuban descent, i have family in havana cuba so i'd probably have an idea of what im talking about. i love my country as much as you do if not more, COMPA was a result of a musical and cultural trade between HAITI AND CUBA, thus supporting my previous statement.
@MrReggieveggie PART 1- f.y.i my grandmother in my mother side was Cuban who migrate to Haiti in the 40's. As a Haitian who goes through hell because I do not look Haitian I defend Haiti more than most darker skin Haitian would. I embrace all of my background (German, French, Haitian, Cuban and Indian).
@alphaphi09 Haiti like all countries have unfortunate chapters in their history and glorious ones but it is still a part of our history so dont let your pride and ego cause to to post NAIVE/preposterous/RUBBISH if u love haiti like you seem to, wise up and embrace ALL OF HAITI'S history, not just the good. it makes us who we are today. so dont be ignorant and tell someone something isint true just because u dont want to hear it. what i said is true wise up and ACCEPT IT!
@MrReggieveggie PART 1- Since you want to start a debate, I will suggest you do some research because I know what I said is a fact Google a brief history of the meringue by Dr. Lynne Guitar. Now you tell me whos the ignorant or in denial. Dont deride your race of what they accomplished. Je suis fier de ma culture et de leur histoire.
@MrReggieveggie PART 2- I don't post rubbish comments on YouTube and wish you people would defend what belongs to you instead of giving credit to those ungrateful bastard who do not admired and appreciated what Haiti did for them. F.Y.I I embrace the goods and the bad , but I WILL NOT accept anyone put this great nation down just because of hardship they are going through, they did enough for the world and people should give them credit where credit is due. Apprendre votre histoire.
@MrReggieveggie PART 2- I WOULD NEVER PUT MY COUNTRY DOWN or talk trash about the Haitian people b/c regardless of my skin-tone or hair texture je suis une femme Haitienne 100%. Dont tell me your grandmother was Cuban b/c my mom is of Cuban descent and we know our history.
@alphaphi09 damn, i dont know why my comment was posted like 6 times.. anyway i read tht excerpt u recommended and i am not saying merengue was not born from the haitians what i was refering to was troubadour and mainly compa which has cuban influence because of the cultural exchange that occured when there were cubans migrated and worked in haiti and haitians migrated and worked in cuba. im sure if u research that you can confirm what i said
@MrReggieveggie I wish you well and hope your dreams of opening a clinic in Haiti become reality. My family and I are actually planning on moving to Haiti after my graduation next summer to help Haiti recover. Once again I will have to bed to differ because if you research the history of compa by Rene Devis, you will see what you said is totally a fabricated story. Nemours Jean Baptiste is the first Haitian who composes and arranges the very first compa.
PART 2- Troubadour is a medieval music, which flourished from the eleventh to the thirteenth century, principally in Provence, in the south of France and north of Italy. You sound like an intelligent person, so don't go by what you hear do your own research.
@alphaphi09 thank you.. and thats good once i can i am going.. and research his inspiration/influences OK we are both right ok. you're stubborn and you sound like you love to be right and dnt stop till you are so guess what we BOTH are right. learn more about Nemours Jean Baptiste and compa and you will see what i am saying. and i dont go by what i hear, i go by living proof of experience and my own research.

@stillsettinit funny you should say that... I was just listening to Joe Cuba, when I said to myself, "this sounds like traditional Haitian music"...viva Cuba!
@stillsettinit You are right! In fact, the Greater Antilles had slaves from many of the same west African countries who continued to play traditional melodies. There is country music in the American south that sounds a bit like this :)
I remember this song i was by 10 yrs old my dad use to work Jean Claude Duvalier @ the Mairie of Port au Prince tats was the shit folks loving it bring back that memory real talk...

@stillsettinit funny you should say that... I was just listening to Joe Cuba, when I said to myself, "this sounds like traditional Haitian music"...viva Cuba!
