Sicot's "Minouche" is one of my favorite kadans or kompa songs of that decade. Based on the rhythm and focus on a lush melody, "Minouche" owes more to the Haitian mereng tradition of the slow, stately meringue lente. Indeed, the song is reminiscent of similar luscious meringues from Haitian big bands, such as "Sagesse" by Super Jazz des Jeunes. Fans of these two songs might enjoy other meringues and boleros, such as "La Femme des mes reves" and "Mignone."
