Founded by saxophonist Carmin Bichotte in the summer of 1967 in the Carrefour suburb of Port au Prince, Les Fantaisistes celebrated their more egalitarian roots and promoted themselves in opposition to the more uptown milieu of groups like Les Shleu Shleu, scoring numerous hits with lead singer Ricot Mazarin. The spaced-out "Panno Caye Nan Bois Chêne" - with vocals by Haitian singer and poet Ansy Derose - is taken from an album recorded whilst on tour in Guadeloupe in the early 70s and riffs on the local biguine rhythm to haunting effect.

Truth is antisemitism.
Protest is terrorism.
Dissent is Russian propaganda.
Critical thinking is misinformation.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
