A Tempsatima

The catalog filename runs the words together, but the official video clarifies the credit: this is “A Temps,” a Kreyol La track featuring Fatima. The 2018 collaboration runs six minutes and thirteen seconds. Its French phrase means arriving in time, an idea that can carry urgency or relief depending on what was nearly lost. Kreyol La gives the exchange a kompa frame where two vocal presences can approach, answer, or alter perspective. In a Tjo Zenny-led band with a strong instinct for narrative, Fatima’s appearance is not a minor detail. Her billing changes the song’s shape, allowing the title to feel like a conversation rather than one person’s declaration.
