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.

From the liner notes:
Led by charismatic singer Gardner Lalanne, Les Loups Noirs (The Black Wolves) were extremely popular in the '70s, touring extensively and recording across the Caribbean and in New York and Paris. "Pile Ou Face" (heads or tails) is an uncharacteristically experimental instrumental that layers saxophones and swirling organ over a rolling compas beat - a great demonstration of the way that the timbales and percussion sections of the big bands were being replaced by stripped-back cowbell and kick drum at the beginning of the ‘70s.

Les Loups Noirs - "Pile Ou Face" [from Haiti Direct]

Quand les princes du port gardent en main le sort, ami
De milliers d'exilés, mal du mal du pays
Quand tu rêves la nuit, exilé de ton île
Entends-tu tous ces bruits, ces rumeurs de ta ville ?
Les musiques dans les cours, les jaseries des commères
Les enfants de Carrefour et les vagues de la mer

Toi tu traînes ta vie et ton mal du pays, ami
Le long de ces hivers tellement loin de la mer
Reviendras-tu là-bas chanter la liberté ?
Pour que meurent les rois qui l'avaient trafiquée
Pour que chantent à nouveau les espoirs de ton île

Quand tu rêves à chez toi, n'entends-tu que ces voix, ami
Qui criaient dans la nuit en fuyant les soldats
Les rumeurs de bataille, les accords de mitraille
Les violons de la peur qui font grincer le cœur
Les cagoules dans la nuit, accompagnées de cris
De familles séparées des leur fil(le)s bien-aimés

Toi tu traînes ta vie et ton mal du pays, ami
Le long de ces hivers tellement loin de la mer
Reviendras-tu là-bas chanter la liberté ?
Pour que meurent les rois qui l'avaient trafiquée
Pour que chantent à nouveau les espoirs de ton île
Pour que chantent à nouveau les espoirs de ton île
Pour que chantent à nouveau les espoirs de ton île
