Boukman Eksperyans carries “Pèpè Yè” into Haiti’s 2015 carnival through more than seven minutes of drums, electric guitar, voices, and roots movement. The title sounds like a popular phrase or chan pwen, material the band regularly uses to connect politics, spirituality, humor, and public life. Lòlò and Manzè do not place Vodou rhythms as decoration behind a rock song; the drums organize how the track travels through the street. Its carnival video makes that function clear: this music is a collective statement requiring a crowd, not merely a studio product.
