Kidnapping
by Carimi · 2007 · kompa · 4:39 · Haitian Creole, French
“Kidnapping” comes from Carimi in 2007, and its English title carries a heavy word already tied to concrete Haitian reality. The video copy runs beyond four and a half minutes. Without verified lyrics, this description does not decide whether the song speaks literally, uses metaphor, or tells a scenario. The contrast is clear: the band places a threatening title over kompa made for dancing. Mickael Guirand’s voice, Richard Cavé and Carlo Vieux’s keyboards, and rhythmic tension keep the subject uneasy rather than decorative.
