Hi all,
Today is Music Tuesday. I will discuss a Haitian artist or band, that I am really into and want to share. You can all suggest music as well. I always enjoy 'discovering' a new to me artist or song. I will attempt to cover all genres. Today, I want to highlight one of my favorite Haitian bands; Carimi. Kompa is my most favorite genre of Haitian music. It can either be a ballad, with soft soothing melodies of love lost, desire, longing or even the dissolution of a relationship. There are also the fast paced songs that cover these topics as well. I love both the fast and slow songs. Carimi was one of the first Kompa bands that I really fell in love with. Their songs also improved my Kreyol vocabulary. Can you imagine a teenaged version of me with bad Kreyol? Yes, I know it's difficult to imagine, but try harder. Carimi is the abbreviation of the first two letters of the three main singers names, Carlo, Richard and Michael.
