wow that is a lot of singers. I can imagine the trials the konpa forefathers had to go through. More should be done to remember those guys. BTW, do we have an HMI hall of fame anywhere? |

According to MARIO DEVOLCY, did you know that founder of COMPAS music NEMOURS JEAN BAPTISTE in the span of 10 years (1955-1965), went through an astonishing 24 lead singers in his band?
On the opposite end of the spectrum, his rival, CADENCE RAMPA founder SICOT only had 1 main singer for his band.
If you did not know....NOW U KNOW!

That maybe so, I was able to count twelve from 1955 to 1968 that’s the year I left Haiti and lost touch with Nemours. Let me name the names I could remember:
Julien Paul
Andre Dorismon
Louis Lahence
Jn. Claude Felix
Pierre Blain
Carlo Glaudin
Michel Pressoir
Arthur Lovelace
Willie Lacroix
Ricardo Lovelace
They were two others that I cannot remember their names. The genius of Nemours is the fact he always trying new things whether is instruments better musician that will give his band an edge. We should not forget all the innovations he instituted in Haitian music. First to bring electric guitar, Bass Guitar, organ, modern PA system, etc.. |
Thanks Pat...I just talk to Mario as well...and he said the same thing to me...
Let me note here that Tadito also know what he is talking about....Tadito was one of the singers that he mentioned above....Don't know if I can say which one...without his blessing... _________________ Did you read your "Konpa Encyclopedia" today... |

I am questioning the 24 Singers in ten years statement. I could only come up with eight singers during those ten years. It would be great if Mr. De Volcy could provide us with some names. |

I am sure MARIO will provide more details because he did explain that there are several singers that DID NOT EVEN MAKE IT ON A STUDIO CD. He said that there are some that played a couple of times LIVE before they were either apparently shown the door, or they decided to go.
