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.

“Daouda was born as Tou Kone Daouda in Abidjan of Burkinabe parents and began his career as a TV technician. He was, however, also a talented amateur singer and guitarist whose big break came when he was overheard practising in a studio and was invited to record and appear on TV. 

In 1976 he released his first single 'Les gbakas d'Abidjan'. The public demanded more of this sweet soukous-inspired music and so he turned to music as a full-time career releasing his second single 'La villageons' in 1977. A gifted lyricist, Daouda introduced Ivorian audiences to his unique mixture of Soukous, Makossa and local rhythms and in 1978 he released the first version of 'Mon coeur balance'. Several more LPs followed in quick succession as Daouda established his national reputation. 

However his biggest breakthrough came in 1985 with the international release of a re-worked version of his first LP on the London-based Sterns label, 'Le Sentimental'. With the help of Souzy Kasseya, Alhadji Toure, Jimmy Hyacinthe and Jimmy & Fredo (one of Africa's hottest horn sections), the album was an instant hit in the francophone world.”
