J'aime Ce Troubadour
by Richie & Zenglen · 2020 · twoubadou · 9:14 · Haitian Creole, French
“J’aime Ce Troubadour” comes from the Zenglen period when Richie’s presence was strong enough for streaming platforms to use the label “Richie & Zenglen.” The track connects to the 2005 album “Le Konpa,” although this Topic listing appeared in 2020, and gives its troubadour form more than nine minutes to breathe. Instead of a large kompa orchestra’s pressure, the title celebrates a musician associated with song and closeness. The extended version holds together Zenglen, Richie’s voice, and a tradition of melody, guitar, and storytelling near the listener.
