Banm Nouvel Ou

“Banm Nouvel Ou” asks for something simple and difficult: send me word of you. It is a phrase said daily in Haiti, and BélO turns it into a rasin and twoubadou song of four minutes and twenty-five seconds. The 2009 official video keeps the acoustic scale. Jean Bélony Murat often works this way: take a formula everyone knows and let the music show the weight underneath. Asking for news is a way of saying someone is missed.
