what year did this song come out?  I am thinking early 90s.

i believe you are right, gwoup Foula was around since the early 80s, the musicians are founding members of the Rasin mouvement going back even farther than that... but the video was likely released in the early 90s. The album Foula, Vodou Jazz from Haiti was released on a german label Bluvision during that time period as well.

This music sounds so good.  I puts you in a trance. Are they singing in french?

This is amazing.

I love it.

I don't think I ever knew them though.
