This interview is with Yvon "Kapi" André of Tabou Combo, arguably Haiti's most famous and internationally acclaimed band. The drummer talks about the band's origins in Pétionville's teenage music scene among other bands like Les Shleu Shleu and the Difficiles de Pétionville. André joined the band, originally known as Los Incognitos, and was an innovator in the konpa rhythm. Notably, the band has also been covered by Carlos Santana and introduced to a larger world stage. The band had a #1 hit in 1975 in the French recording industry for their song "New York CIty," a tale of the Haitian experience in the Diaspora that achieved them national fame and celebrity. Since then, they've performed on nearly every continent and have achieved the most financial success for a Haitian konpa band. 2 DVDs
