Min Rat La 1987
by Coupe Cloue · 2009 · twoubadou · 7:37 · Haitian Creole, French
The source identifies “Men Rat La” as a Coupé Cloué recording from 1987, although the video copy was uploaded in 2009. Its title points out a rat, the kind of image Coupé used to bring humor, criticism, and double meaning into one song. Across more than seven and a half minutes, twoubadou guitar, kompa manba, percussion, and his low voice let the story develop like conversation. Without verified lyrics, this text does not identify whom the rat represents; the power remains in popular language creating suspicion and laughter.
