I do not speak Creole, but I speak French. Can anyone confirm to me that part of the song (what is written on the blackboard at minute 1:55) explains about Haitians in Dominican Republic working the land without papers? We have the same issue: Many Guatemalans working abroad without documents.
Apa te gen video li oo.... kanaval sa mpat konn si RAM te anfom konsa non, se sou channmas la 2e jou a le yo resi pase m-we jan meringue yo te anfom tant ke se te ringtone sou cell mwen...keep the good work RAM
the 2nd part is for the Ghedes, in which u see people dancing the banda (the gouyad and sexual dance), the Ghede colors of black, purple and white, the pepper drinks in bottles, and even Baron's white face, sunglasses, top hat, pipe and cane.
The Ghedes who are crude and sexual like to possess people who are defiant, uptight and resistant as if 2 humiliate them, or teach them a lesson, even non-vodouisants. i guess that's what lunise meant by "pran yo, ghede".
Racine music almost always has a very strong spiritual and/or political message. In this case,for people wandering about the blue helmet white man, the man represents the encroaching UN being possessed by a voodoo spirit.
It's racine music, not Kompa. Racine is much more redolently African and almost indistinguishable from music played at a voodoo ceremonie. One can say this is what the slaves grooved to. Good stuff!
And wow wow wow...im not trying to be racist or anything, but was i the only one who saw that white man getting down to some compa?lmao thats right!!!
God, I'd forgotten how much I loved those horns. If you wanna see our stuff from Carnival 2000, see "Voodoo Vacances". Our Euro Raves are "23 Teknivals" and our India trips are "The Tekno Raj". God, I wish the sound from the float had recorded properly in 2000, but I found a tape a few months ago with a mid-week Olofson gig that we might try a remix to. That was still one of the best parties ever. Cheers for making us so welcome. Love Zena and Rory

1st part is self-explained.
the 2nd part is for the Ghedes, in which u see people dancing the banda (the gouyad and sexual dance), the Ghede colors of black, purple and white, the pepper drinks in bottles, and even Baron's white face, sunglasses, top hat, pipe and cane.
