First post.

And that's Jean Claude-Naimro from Kassav.



Jean-Claude Naimro - Avèou Doudou - YouTube
Props! Finally someone knew this. Love Naimro. I remember when i was little and the "pèd filaou" video came out. Classic funny joint with the fat white chick taking his spot on the stage :heh:
Oh, btw... Kassav (although they're from Martinique/Guadeloupe), Tabou Combo, and early-90s Zin >>>>>>>

Jacob Desvarieux - Mwen Enviw - YouTube


Nah dude. As much as i love Zin they have never been better than Kassav'

But no doubt Tabou Combo >>>> all caribbean bands

My top 5

  1. Tabou Combo
  2. Kassav
  3. Zin
  4. Malavoi
  5. Boukman


Honorable mentions: Zèklè, Lakol, Boukan Ginen :dj2:
now that you mentioned it.. Damn I miss Zin. Come on Allan, get the band back together :sad:

man, that haitian guy in the brown hat looks he could be the brother of my haitian next door neighbor that i have appreciation for because he killed a skunk with a machete in my backyard that had been tormenting me every night for about a week by walking back and forth past my sliding glass window.

Same here. I give them the :manny: too. But id love to know how to speak and understand creole too. And portuguese too. My moms from brazil and dad from haiti.

My favorite sawcepoi is sawcepoi vert.

That shyt done right with some rice is :whoo:.

But man where the fukk do they sell "Lalo" or Jute leaves at?? My mom grow them in the backyard but they only out around the summer time. I swear that's the BEST legume I've ever had. I was looking like a damn hippie coming out the backyard avec un bowl plen lalo.
