Happy Birtay
by Alan Cavé · 2015 · kompa, zouk · 5:02 · Haitian Creole, French
The catalog spells this “Happy Birtay,” while Alan Cavé’s source gives the correct English title, “Happy Birthday.” This 2015 version runs just over five minutes and places a celebration song inside a sound between kompa and zouk. Alan uses his gentle voice to make the birthday message feel personal rather than like a rushed jingle. Clear melody, close groove, and repetition let one person receive the track as a gift while everyone else can still dance to it at the party.
