Об исполнителе (группе)

Об альбоме (сборнике)
Born in 1979, in Croix-des-Bouquet, Haïti, just like musician Wyclef Jean, Jean Bélony Murat, known by most as Lakou trankilBélO, is a young talented singer and songwriter who proposes a music, that is mostly a mix of reggae, voodoo and soul beats, and even flirts with the jazz genre. In 2005, he recorded his first album : Lakou trankil. The ten songs, except one, are written, composed and arranged by Bélo. They talk of love (god’s, mother’s, sentimental), unity, respect for one another and call upon listeners to reflect on many social issues. Titles like “Match”, “Dioré”, “Lov pou Lov”’ and “Jasmine” are very solicited in the media stations and are regulars at the radio stations billboards
Blending Haitian tradition with modern production and an easygoing flow that goes down like smooth jazz at times, the music of Haiti’s BelO is equal parts Caribbean, African, Francophone and worlds beyond. The polished- but not sanitized -nature of the music, which is laced with moody keyboards and light programming, does not belie the fact that this is genuine Haitian roots despite the occasional soprano saxophone or synthesized string section. Though I can’t help but wonder what BelO would sound like tearing into some grittier material the way such compatriots as Boukman Eksperyans do, what he’s done on this tasty disc is a strong meeting of singer/songwriter expertise and melodic craftsmanship. And the presence of such guests as Cameroonian bassist Richard Bona doesn’t hurt one bit.
