Tabou Combo

Tabou Combo is a Haitian compas band founded in Pétion-Ville in 1968 by Albert Chancy and Herman Nau. The group blends vodou rara rhythms, konpa, funk, and soukous, singing in Haitian Creole, French, English, and Spanish. Relocating to New York in the early 1970s, they became known as the "ambassadors of konpa," with "New York City" reaching number one on the French charts. Live performances have filled halls from Paris's Zenith to New York's Central Park.
