Peyi Cho Pa Pou Mwen Video kanaval 2015
by Kreyol La · 2015 · kompa · 7:22 · Haitian Creole, French
For carnival 2015, Kreyol La titled its entry “Peyi Cho Pa Pou Mwen.” Heat means more than temperature in the phrase; it can suggest pressure, disorder, or circumstances that have become too difficult to remain inside. Carnival gives the band room to make social observation sound like a hook the crowd can carry. The plezikanaval version runs seven minutes and twenty-two seconds, allowing message, humor, and street movement to take turns. Although the file classifies it as kompa, the video title clearly marks its seasonal purpose. Kreyol La uses dance to say that the country has reached a degree of heat that cannot be ignored.
