RAM - Sa'n pa wè yo (1995)

RAM 1995 song. Sa'n pa wè yo (Those we don't see) has both a spiritual and political meaning referring to loas and the thousands who disappeared under Raoul Cedras.

Background: RAM (stands for the initial of its founder) is one of the most prominent vodou-themed bands in Rasin (roots) music. Created in 1990 by Richard A. Morse (mother is Emerante de Pradines, Haitian folklore dancer and singer) who moved to Port-au-Prince, seeking to explore Haitian and Caribbean music, RAM is known for its interesting fusion of traditional music and rock n' roll. As beloved as they are and known for being the people's voice, the group has survived numerous threats to their safety due to their political lyrics and speaking out against the government, making their mark known especially under the oppressive regime of Raoul Cedras (1991-1994).
Richard, and his wife Lunise are the group's lead singers.
