Life's a Carnival: King Posse and "Retounen"

Today's tune is called Retounen, and it was performed by King Posse, a Haitian band rap, ragga and carnival band that was active in the 1990s and that has roots in Haitian carnival. They sang in Haitian creole and created songs that are Haitian carnival staples. But, I couldn't find a bio of the band with any detail, only testimonials about how great they were. At least two of the band members have passed away. Retounen is from their 1997 album I Like It and can also be found on the 2001 various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: Carnival.

Today's a Carnival!: King Posse and "Retounen"

Just because Megan and I are taking an anniversary holiday in Taos doesn't mean our Global Music randomizer isn't working to bring you a daily tune. Unfortunately, for the second straight day it has picked a tune where I can't find any information on the artist. King Posse is a Haitian band, apparently active in the 90s, that has roots in Haitian carnival. But, I couldn't find a bio of the band, only testimonials about how great they were. This song, Retounen, is from 1997. If you know anything about King Posse, feel free to post in the comments!
