Kassav - Pa Bizwen Pale (Twoubadou)

Twoubadou music is a very popular form of guitar-based Haitian music which was brought back by Haitian migrant laborers who went to work on Cuban sugar plantations at the turn of the century. True to the original Spanish troubadours, the music and its lyrics usually conjured up images of true love and lasting relationships. Although more popular during times past, today it is sometimes considered passé or only for the old folks. Although more recently, it has begun being eclipsed by more popular forms of Rasin and Konpa music, it is making a comeback even among groups like Mizik Mizik ("Blakawout') who are popular among the younger crowds.

as an ethnomusicologist, I have to look at evidences and go into a bit of detail. the only music that is close to twubadu is changui in Cuba. but we know that Changui came from colonial or pre-colonial Ayiti...humm, Changui is close to mento, calipso, and bachata...listen there will not b any musical genre coming out of the caribbean that u cannot link to spanish or french Ayiti, and from ayiti back to africa...incidentally, when i speak of ayiti, i am speaking of the island of AYITI!

Alors, mon cher ami, ne vous empressez pas de désavouer quelqu'un sans éffectuer, préalablement, une petite recherche. Pour ce faire, quelques « clicks » suffisent…et voilà !
