Je Femen
by Alan Cave · 2015 · kompa, zouk · 5:13 · Haitian Creole, French
Alan Cavé grew up in a house where poetry and theatre were the daily language: his father Syto Cavé, his mother Yanick Jean. A teenager travelling with his father across Caribbean and French stages learns something about timing and silence before he learns anything about production, and Je Femen rests on that. The voice is silky, the romance direct, and the balance between konpa and zouk stays calm from end to end. Five minutes thirteen. The control is not restraint — it is what keeps the feeling soft without letting it go slack.
