COUPE CLOUE {TI TET LA}

Sweet Micky-Ti Poule

Tiroch assassin freestyle

Claudette & Ti Pierre’s 1979 version of the folk song ‘Zanmi Camarade’ jumps straight out of leftfield. Haunting vocals are accompanied by a heavy drum machine and arpeggiated synth backing for a Kraftwerk-in-Port-au-Prince vibe. 

Stockholm's Tropical Treats crew give the track the subtle edit treatment, bringing out the bass and rounding off the sound.


Claudette and her husband, the blind keyboard player Ti Pierre were – and still are- household names in Haiti.  Touring a stripped-down synth/drum machine and vocal combo they recorded a string of hit records in the 70s and 80s that, although classics in Haiti, are little known outside.
