Tabou Combo - Respect LP
NEW. SEALED.
Recent reissue.
Secret Stash Records
Formed in 1967 just outside of Port-au-Prince, Tabou Combo has proven to be the most successful band to ever come out of Haiti. They've toured Europe, Mexico, Africa, the Caribbean and the United States (including a central Park concert boasting over 20,000 attendees). It has been said by many that Tabou Combo is Haitian music. This 1973 album is true to their roots as a Compas (Haitian party music) band. Rather than play American pop music with flavors of Haitian music, they focused their sound on Compas and used funk, soul, and psych as extra spice. All of the songs are sung in Haitian Creole, with the exception of a couple ballads that are performed in French. The intricate guitars drenched in psychedelic effects fuse seamlessly with nonstop hard driving percussion to create one of the most hypnotic, unique sounds ever recorded. Couple that with the mix of Caribbean rhythms and danceable James Brown inspired breaks and you will hear why "Respect." is among the most collectable world music records of all time. Tracks: Respect, Minouche, Maria, Alle Iave, Ti Gran Mou'n, Bebe Paramount, Plus Pres de Toi, Compas Popcorn.
