Review by Aaren Jenson

The album Why Not by Tabou Combo is a vibrant and energetic collection of music that showcases the band's unique blend of Haitian rhythms, funk, and soul. From the opening track "Chale Lanmou" to the closing number "Lanmou San Fè," the album is an infectious celebration of life and love.

The band's signature sound is driven by the tight interplay between the percussion and brass sections, with the guitar and keyboard adding texture and color to the mix. The songs are sung in Haitian Creole, adding to the album's authenticity and cultural richness.

Highlights include "Gislène," a catchy tune with a memorable chorus and a driving beat, and "Lakay," a soulful ballad that showcases the band's versatility and emotional depth. The album also features guest appearances by Haitian music legends such as Toto Bissainthe and Rodrigue Milien.

About Tabou Combo

Tabou Combo is Haitis most famous group. Together for over 30 years, they have toured worldwide and are celebrated as the ambassadors of Kompa  the popular Haitian dance rhythm sung in French, English, Spanish and Creole. Their story started in 1967 in a small church in Haiti where two musicians, Albert Chancy Jr and Herman Nau, played their first show. Very soon they formed a band and went on the road, playing live all over the island and winning the Radio Haiti award for Best Musical Group of the Year (1969). The following year the group moved to Brooklyn, playing their first New York show in December 1970  the beginning of a long international career. Tabou Combos music is aimed squarely at the dancefloor  mixing Haitian Meringue, Rara (vodoun percussion) with Kompa and elements of Brazilian music, soukous and funk. Their phenomenal popularity has given them an important standing in Haitian society and they use their lyrics to defend the poor, denouncing the oppression of black people in their songs. They are also committed to countering the negative image of their country, and have founded the association Manger, lire et espérer (Eat, Read and Hope) to help combat the main problems in Haiti  hunger and illiteracy  and to hope for better days.
