A rara classic performed here by a Léogâne group. This is the same song that was turned into "Cote Moun Yo" by Jazz des Jeunes, a pattern in Haitian popular music where the 'Vodou-jazz' of Jazz des Jeunes incorporated music from folkloric and popular religious expression. Gage Averill's excellent book on Haitian popular music places this in context, as does McAlister's text on Haitian rara.
