<p>Wyclef Jean's musical tribute to his native Haiti is the mix of R&B, soca, hip-hop, and reggae you'd expect from this eclectic artist. Most of the songs are also sung in Creole, a notable exception being the hypnotic "President," with its macabre nursery-rhyme refrain "If I was president, I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday, back to work on Monday," a neat confluence of Haitian magic and American political realism. The tranquil "Douce," with its sultry backing vocals, is a slow-burner, while the celebratory "Fistibal-Festival" is perhaps the most typically Caribbean of the tracks on offer here. But Jean's political message and his dance-floor aspirations find their smoothest blend on upbeat dance tracks "Fanm Kreyol" and "Haitian Mafia" (which features Foxy Brown), offering irresistible beats and rapid-fire Creole exhortations that bypass the synapses and go straight for the hips.

- Learn Something!!!!
This is a great CD to get and provides you a blend of Haitian Compas, Haitian Rap & Ragga. In summation, a great overview of old and new generation Haitian music. Try it out, you may learn something. Análisis de usuario - 16 Diciembre 2005

- Great WORLD album
This is quite possibly my favorite album ever. It doesn't fit in with Wyclef's past rap and hip-hop albums, but it is an excellent world/carribean cd. I especially like Bicentennial. If you want to have an uplifting album with great flow, buy this one. I believe that Wyclef should continue both with this carribean and his rap as well. 3 personas de un total de 4 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Love It!!!!!!
I love this cd. It's upbeat and fun. I listen to it everyday. I hope he puts out another cd in this same style. My favorite song is President but Fistibal festival is a close second. There's not a song on here that I don't like. I highly recommend this cd. - This is fantastic!
Before buying this album I only ever saw Wyclef Jean once on TV. He made an impression. So I bought this, my first of his albums, and I can't stop listening to it, especially when enjoying a drive in my car. Interesting, profound, exciting. I love the blend of rapping with creole sound and rhythms. Ooh, and that vibrato wailing that he does better than any reggae artist I've ever heard! Thanks for this one Wyclef! I am surely going to look into more of this music. - great ablum
Big shout out to Wyclef for kickin Haiten style. This album is mostly done in Creole. I can't understand most of the raps but it grooves none the less. |
