ABA "X" yo
by Rutshelle Guillaume · 2018 · kompa · 5:13 · Haitian Creole, French
The source credits Gabel first and presents Rutshelle Guillaume as the guest on “Aba X Yo,” although the catalog files the track under Rutshelle. This 2018 video runs beyond five minutes and joins the Miami kompa love band with one of modern HMI’s major women’s voices. Its title takes the form of a slogan against the “X” figures, a sign the metadata leaves open. Rather than invent who they are, this description stays with the musical function: two vocal presences turn opposition into a collective hook over bal cadence.
